My Project

Fifth grade is a big year of change. Our students are growing quickly — both physically and academically. As they enter puberty, many of them feel self-conscious about their appearance. The last thing they should have to worry about is whether their clothes fit properly or if they have what they need to meet our school’s uniform policy. Unfortunately, many families in our community are struggling financially, making it hard to keep up with the cost of new uniforms.

No child should feel embarrassed or distracted because they don’t have a well-fitting uniform.

Our goal is to provide our fifth graders with new uniform tops and bottoms, and underclothing, so they can walk into school feeling comfortable, equal to their peers, and ready to focus on learning. Having the right uniform can boost their confidence, help them concentrate, and ensure that all students feel included.

With your support, we can remove this barrier for families and give our students one less thing to worry about. Your donation will directly impact the well-being of our students, allowing them to focus on what truly matters—their education and personal growth.
