Every school year, I face the same challenges in providing the best possible tools, and materials for my students. Many of my students lack the financial resources to have the experiences needed to have a successful school year. At home many of them do not have access to books, technology, and supplies. When they come to school, I can make sure to provide them access to as many books, as much technology, and as many different kind of supplies that I can manage to offer them in the classroom. I have experience firsthand the fact that my wallet also needs your kind assistance. Thank you for taking the time to give to any of the projects I present to you. Every item that is asked for is diligently planned to be used during the day and school year. I thank you for your generosity in giving to any of my projects.
