My Project

This project is to replenish our supplies and snacks for the upcoming spring semester. I've listed regular school supplies that are running low, craft supplies for building Macbeth's castle, lamps to reduce usage of overhead lights, prizes to incentivize learning, and snacks to keep them energized throughout the day.

Students need snacks to keep up their energy and the right supplies for class!

Please help us by donating so that we can add these items to our classroom.

My students come from a variety of backgrounds, but what unites them all is that a traditional classroom setting has not worked for them. At our school, we provide a smaller, calmer learning environment that allows all these incredible, diverse young people to thrive. We work to restore hope by showing them the pathways to their goals.
