My Project

Support Our Students This Winter!

As winter approaches, many of our students face challenges that extend beyond the classroom.

With your generous support, we aim to provide essential winter supplies such as warm gloves, and supplies to ensure every student is prepared and comfortable during the colder months.

In addition to practical needs, we want to create joyful memories for our students by hosting a small holiday party. This event will not only lift their spirits but also foster a sense of community and belonging. It will be a time for students to celebrate, enjoy festive activities, and share in the joy of the season together.

Your contributions will make a significant difference in their lives, helping to equip them with the basics they need while also bringing a little holiday cheer into our classroom. Together, we can help every student thrive this winter!

Thank you for considering to support our cause and make this winter a little brighter for our students.
