My Project

The calculators, snacks, and pencils I’m requesting will remove barriers that hinder my students’ learning. Many struggle with math concepts, and calculator access builds confidence and reinforces problem-solving skills. Pencils ensure all students can participate without stress, while snacks help them stay focused—hunger should never be a distraction in the classroom. These essentials create a supportive, equitable learning environment where students can thrive.

My goal is to provide students with the tools they need to succeed.

Calculators will help them approach math confidently, pencils will ensure they are prepared, and snacks will give them the energy to stay engaged. This project will create a positive, structured space where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

My students are incredibly resilient. They show up every day ready to grow. They are kind, creative, and determined but need extra support to reach their full potential. With the right resources, they can overcome obstacles and achieve great things. This project will show them they are seen, valued, and capable of success.
