This project is fully funded

My Project

Every binder and pencil I'm requesting for my students has a place in our classroom setup. We just need your help to bring them in! Binders will snugly fit in our storage units, keeping our students' work organized and accessible. Pencils will find their home in designated holders on each desk, ready to fuel our students' creativity and learning. With your support, we can ensure that every student has the tools they need to succeed. Your generosity will help create an environment where students thrive, armed with the tools essential for their academic journey.
