My Students

Our community is low income, and having these supplies would make a world of difference to the students. Often times, students lack the basic necessities that most people take for granted. My students love to learn and are hardworking kids. They always strive to do their best.

My Project

These supplies are classroom basics for students who need them. It includes pencils, notebooks and paper, pencil holders, markers and coloring items, binders, backpacks, planners, lap desks to use, binder dividers, thumb drives to save items on the computer to, books that they can read at home, pencil sharpeners and a speaker.

The Caring Closet gives school supplies to children in need and the supplies are running low after our last distribution.

Please help me give the students the basics to make this a successful school year. I appreciate your help.
