Our Best Foot Forward

Funded May 25, 2016

The students are using their schools supplies everyday and throughout the day. It is hard to pinpoint one particular project or moment. However, the fact that each student was able to begin the year on equal footing was an enormous achievement. No child had to wait for basic school supplies. Each student had pencils, folders, erasures, pencil cases, sharpeners, notebooks, glue sticks, and scissors on day one. Students can complete homework without fear of not having the right supplies at home. All they need to have to complete something as simple as homework - something many of us take for granted - are these basic supplies.

When the students first saw their supplies, they were visibility excited. Some bounced in their chairs. Others smiled shyly. Still others jumped out of their chairs to get a better look at their new supplies. In short, the supplies were eagerly received and appreciated.

The supplies are consumable. Therefore, the next step would be to continue to supply the students with the materials necessary to be successful in the classroom. Your contribution has contributed to the success of every child in my classroom.”
