My Project

Starting the school year with every student having the same essential supplies—folders, pencils, crayons, markers, dry erase markers, and a pencil box—ensures that each child begins on equal footing.

When students are properly equipped, they can fully participate in lessons, express their creativity, and stay organized without the stress or embarrassment of lacking materials.

Having consistent supplies also helps the teacher maintain a smooth and structured classroom routine. This sense of preparedness builds confidence, encourages engagement, and promotes a positive, inclusive learning environment where all students have the tools they need to succeed.
