My Project

Strong communication and collaboration skills are essential for success in both academics and in the workforce. My high school students, many of whom are first-generation college-bound, need opportunities to build these critical skills. Whether they are working in groups to solve problems, engaging in meaningful discussions, or preparing for college and careers, students who can communicate clearly and work well with others are more likely to succeed.

Through this project, I aim to provide easel pads, markers, and wall hooks to encourage active participation, teamwork, and dialogue in the classroom.

Your support will help students engage in hands-on, collaborative projects where they can practice sharing ideas, listening to different perspectives, and working toward common goals. These experiences will not only help them succeed in school but also prepare them for the challenges of the future.

Thank you for investing in our students’ futures and helping them become confident communicators and collaborators!
