My Project

Please help my students get ready for the back-to-school process with these much-needed items. My students are in a Title I school, and need resources, materials, and literature to kick off their upcoming year in first grade. In order to succeed, students need school supplies to stay organized and this helps them take ownership of their belongings.

Students will thrive from the new books, school supplies, and cleaning essentials for a tidy and healthy classroom environment.

Classrooms inhabit our learners who look forward to accessing their favorite books and tools, and knowing that they are in a safe, welcoming, clean space.
