My Project

I am requesting basic supplies for my students. A lot of students face struggles that prevents them from coming to school fully prepared.

My goal is to be able to readily have supplies to ensure they are given every opportunity to succeed in the 8th grade.

My students are special because even with the adversity they face they prevail daily. They show up to learn and soak in knowledge.

If you find it in your heart to donate just a dollar, my students and I will be eternally grateful. Thank you!
