My Project

My students come from low budget households. My goal is to make sure every student feels comfortable coming to my class and is able to receive the supplies they need. Not only just my class but for any students within the school.

Learning can be stressful as is, that is why I want to take some of the stress away by giving students the supplies they need that they usually cannot afford.

Donations help my school and classroom create the type of learning environment that everyone enjoys being in. A place that is fun, interesting, and involved.
