My Project

This school year my school got a big influx of Russian and Ukrainian students who immigrated to this country to escape the war. They need basic school supplies like notebooks and folders that they can't afford. I would like to give them a welcome bag on the first day of school with some essential supplies.

These ESL students in my title I school need all the help they can get to be successful and focus on their education instead of issues of their every day lives.

These students are very hard working and eager to learn.

We greatly appreciate any donations to help us make this school year more productive and engaging.
