My Project

I have a wonderful group of diverse third-grade students. They love to read, write, calculate, create, and problem-solve, but most importantly, our class and students need back-to-school basics that will prepare us for the coming year.

I have so many students who live in low-income housing, so I know what a school supply list can do to a family's already tight budget.

My goal is to ensure that all my students have their basic supplies met and that our class is supplied with pencils, highlighters, and pencil pouches when returning to school. Please donate to my project so my students are ready to start the school year with their basic school supplies.
