My Project

The items we’re requesting—pencil sharpener, pens, and printer ink—will have a direct impact on our students' learning by providing them with the essential tools needed to produce high-quality essays. These supplies will allow students to focus on developing their writing skills without the frustration of missing basic necessities. A working pencil sharpener ensures they can always use their pencils for drafting and editing, pens are crucial for note-taking and final drafts, and printer ink allows them to print their essays for review, sharing, and submission.

Our goal for this project is to foster a love of writing and to help our students express themselves clearly and effectively.

By equipping them with these tools, we aim to build their confidence in their ability to write, revise, and present their ideas, which is a foundational skill for academic success and beyond.

What makes our students special is their resilience and creativity. Despite challenges, they are eager to learn and express themselves. These tools will help remove barriers to their success and give them the opportunity to shine.
