My Project

My students are eager and curious, but they often lack the supplies needed to compete with their peers in wealthier districts. We are a Title I school in the inner city; many of our families are not able to purchase supplies and are unable to donate resources that are necessary for all students to be successful in school. Your donation will assist students in achieving their true academic potential!

Our school does not have a school library.

My students are readers; they just lack easy access to them. Help my students get more books on the shelves of my classroom library. We need all kinds of books but especially books that allow students to experience diverse texts and modern authors, exposure to ideas, cultures, and places unlike their own. Books that allow students to explore their own identities and dreams. Books that provide equity of experience and exposure.
