My Students

Help my students learn by giving them the necessary materials!

All my second graders are from low-income families.

They receive free lunch. They are wonderful, hard-working, and enthusiastic. They love to learn, play,and interact with each other. Our school is a Title 1 school. We have very high standards for our students and they try their best.

My Project

With your help...we will no longer need to use the manual sharpener that does not work to help sharpen our pencils...my students will be able to use their dry erase board now that they will have the dry eraser makers for our reading and math lessons.

A donation from donors choose would help my students enhance their learning.

The materials will benefit my students a great deal. They will be more motivated to do work. Please help with my project!
