My Project

All of our students want to learn how to write efficiently. Our students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether they have writing materials or not.

By donating to our Notebooks and Pencils project, you will not only help to improve and increase student writing, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

You will be helping our students get an equitable education. Not only will you be helping students with their writing and literacy, you will be helping with their social and emotional learning as well.
