My Project

A large percentage of my students come from low-income areas and have many financial problems. Not only do these students struggle financially but they are adolescents. So they are dealing with many different emotions, physically and socially. As my students' school counselor, I try to help them in any way I can!

Just these bare necessities will help my students a long way.

These are the supplies we have run low on and need to replenish them. We don't want any student to feel uncomfortable or unprepared when entering a classroom without supplies.
