My Project

I am asking for donors to help me make third grade great again! My students come from various backgrounds and often struggle with maintaining school supplies. Together we can help the students of Brownsville community WIN by pushing the PEN.

My students will benefit greatly from jew felt pens, sharpies, and white magnetic boards.

These pens will push their writing even further with bright colors to differentiate within their core subjects. Sharpies will help students feel more comfortable as they led discussions and small groups. Using the sharpies to express their ideas and collaborate with others will greatly be appreciated.

Thank you to those who continue to support and service students all over the world!
