  • To Begin Again

    Funded Feb 8, 2024

    I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your kind donations to our classroom. The supply of the refrigerator, water, cleaning supplies, resume paper, and jump drives has had a remarkable impact. When my students started receiving these items, the joy on their faces made my day. It is important that my students have what they need to be college and career ready, and you helped make that happen. These items are not merely supplies; they are instruments that have greatly improved the learning environment for our students. The provision of a refrigerator and water has ensured that our kids remain well hydrated and able to concentrate throughout the day, while the availability of cleaning supplies has contributed to the maintenance of a safe and healthy learning environment. The utilization of resume paper and jump drives is equipping our pupils with the ability to confidently prepare for their future employment. We are profoundly grateful for your contribution, since your kindness has had a lasting and significant effect.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Handy

  • I'm A "Flash" Away From College!

    Funded Feb 1, 2022

    Preparing my scholars to be college and career ready is my first priority. My students will be entering the real-world as we say and will have to prepared and ready no matter the path they choose. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who generously donated highlighters, file folders, copy paper, resume paper, and jump drives to support my students. Your thoughtful contributions will undoubtedly make a significant impact on their learning experience. With your help, we can ensure that our students have the necessary tools to organize their materials, highlight key information, and create professional documents. Your kindness not only lightens the financial burden on our students but also fosters a positive and supportive educational environment. Thank you for your commitment to education and for making a tangible difference in the lives of our students. Your generosity is truly appreciated and will contribute to their academic success.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Handy

Coming from various disparities including poverty and indecent living conditions, students do not see themselves on a collegiate level. They feel they do not have the necessary tools to aid in their academic success. These students need something tangible to see the future and believe in themselves. They need to believe that college can be achieved whether it be a two-year, a four-year, or straight to work. Students need a tangible way to complete resumes, write essays for college, apply for scholarship applications correctly while they are still in high school. With the use of these flash drives, folders, paper, and highlighters, students will be able to be college-ready.
