Second graders whom will be using these items have little to no resources at home. It is crucial that they have them in school. Without the basics, they will be set up for failure. Could you imagine writing with no pencils, reading with no books. They face challenges of many including attention and reading delays. E-readers, even a couple, will help students by utilizing multiple senses. Rugs will counter noise in our old building.

Please help provide these students with every opportunity they and all students deserve.
