My Project

Many students struggle to understand their place in the world. They feel disconnected from other cultures and countries. A subscription to Junior Scholastic allows them to learn about their own society, as well as the rest of the world they will someday have the opportunity to explore.

While learning, many of our students lack the financial capability to supply themselves with the basic needs of a classroom.

It is an unfortunate reality that we, as teachers, need to provide the proper supplies for our students to learn. This includes pencils, binders, and personal hygiene supplies like tissues and hand sanitizer.

These supplies, along with a subscription to Junior Scholastic, will allow my students to stop worrying about how they will be able to take notes and keep themselves safe. These supplies will ensure each child can be successful in the classroom. They will be able to hold onto and organize, the information given to them.

Please think about donating to our classroom. Even the smallest sum can help make the biggest difference.
