My Project

I am reaching out for helping in acquiring the basic writing tools for my first grade class. As an educator, I have witnessed the transformative power of a well equipped classroom in helping students to stay focused and motivated. My students are resilience

and ready to learn.

Unfortunately, they lack basic writing materials like pencils, markers and erasers to ensure that each child has the materials to succeed. The use of the chairbacks will also help to keep our classroom cluster free. Each student will having a chairback to ensure that we do not waste instructional time passing out learning materials .

The copy paper will be used to make copies of worksheet, books , projects and other classroom activities. Your generosity will make a difference in the lives of these brilliant and young minds. Thank for for your support.
