My Project

Our students are resilient, creative, and full of potential. They come from diverse backgrounds and face unique challenges, but their determination to learn and grow inspires us daily.

The items we’re requesting—storage bins, shelving, and labels—will transform our Resource Closet into an organized and accessible space.

By creating a well-stocked and efficient closet, we can ensure students and families have quick access to essential items like school supplies, uniforms, and personal care products. This organization will save time, reduce stress, and allow our students to focus on what truly matters: learning and achieving their goals.

Our goal for this project is to create a sustainable and welcoming system that supports our students' needs throughout the year. An organized Resource Closet means no child has to worry about missing out due to a lack of resources.

Our students are special because they show up each day with curiosity and enthusiasm, despite the barriers they may face. With your support, we can provide them with the resources they need to succeed and thrive. Thank you for being a part of their journey!
