My Project

I am a Language Arts teacher at a middle school in New York City. The population of my school and class is very diverse, but there is one thing they all have in common - a need for basic supplies to start out this school year.

On our first day back at work, teachers were informed that our budget had been cut drastically and funding for necessities was pretty much eliminated.

Help is desperately needed, and I refuse to ask the families of my students to pay for these items.

As a teacher who stresses cleanliness and organization to his classes (among other things), I need help stocking my room with some basics which in the past have been provided by my school. Having these items will provide my students with all they need to start off this school year on the right foot. Not having to worry about these items will allow them to relax and focus on what's most important - their education.
