Your generosity has gone beyond simply providing pencils and paper; you have provided equity, dignity, and a foundation for success for my students.\r\n\r\nFor families struggling to make ends meet, the cost of essential school supplies—from colored pens and pencils to scissors—can be a significant financial burden, often forcing difficult choices between supplies and other necessities. When a student lacks these basics, they can start the school year feeling unprepared, anxious, and marginalized.\r\n\r\nWe believe every child deserves an equal opportunity to thrive, and your support directly translates into tangible impact in the classroom.
