My Project

As the new school year begins, kids need essential back-to-school supplies to help them learn and stay organized. Basic items include notebooks, pencils, pens, crayons, folders, and other classroom essentials. Many students also need rulers, scissors, glue sticks, and calculators, depending on their grade level. Having the right supplies helps children complete assignments, participate in class activities, and build confidence. Parents and communities often support school supply drives to ensure every child has what they need. Providing students with these tools creates a positive learning environment and helps them start the school year prepared for success and academic growth.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
