My Project

The tools will be utilized daily for 20 minutes during the students' advisory sessions to help them rediscover their passion for writing. Students have numerous ideas that must be written without criticism. With the notebooks, sheet protectors and pencils, kids will be able to express their creativity while addressing their social-emotional development and conduct.

By donating to this initiative, you will not only contribute to the improvement and expansion of students' writing techniques, but also to the cultivation of future authors.

By having resources readily available, students will be able to concentrate on developing their writing skills and creativity.
