Back to the Basics

Help me give my students the basic school supplies. The incoming students have already received the supply list for the new school year. Many of the parents have already expressed a need for assistance.

My Project

Crayons, glue, folders, cleaning supplies, are just a few of the basics to make this school year successful. By funding this project, the donors will take away the financial burden from the parents, especially those that are struggling.

I want my students to just focus on coming to school daily with a desire to learn.

I do not want any scholars stressing because they don't have a particular supply. These resources will allow them to maximize their learning opportunities and began their journey of being lifelong learners. I want to keep the main thing, the main thing: LEARNING.
