My Project

Our students are an amazing group of hard working kids that will be so appreciative of these basics. They write, type, color, cut, glue and so much more every day. These materials will allow them to complete every day assignments with brand new school supplies.

Giving our students these brand new supplies will set them up for success at the beginning of the school year.

Whether they will be solving division problems, cutting paper for a STEM project or illustrating their own book, these supplies will surely come in handy.
