My Project

Title I schools are not as well funded or supported as other schools and because of that, many teachers have to pay out of pocket for their students to have basic supplies.

Most of the items on my list are basic supplies we need on a regular/weekly basis, including folders, pencils, and paper.

Our school has a large group of English Learners - the headphones allow my students to learn English while also learning the skills everyone learns in my class.

The snacks provided food security for our students that only get food when they are in school. Studies show that students that are chronically not showing for class or school, will show up for food and/or snacks.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
