My Project

With each new school year, we get a new class of scholars, ready and eager to learn and grow. With the past two years of obstacles that we all have faced, this year is shaping up to be a better and greater year of learning. In order for scholars to feel ease at the start of the school year, I strive to ensure materials and supplies for all students so that no student feels that they don't have what they need.

With your support, these materials will make that difference.

With these supplies and materials, students will be ready and equip to access learning taking place in the classroom.

Ms. Leposa John B Kelly Elementary School Grades 3-5
