My Project

Most of my students reside in an urban area which is mostly underfunded and, in some areas, lacking even the most basic of needs. Many students at our school are in foster care. These materials and resources will help my students feel special and safe and provide a better learning environment for them overall. My students will benefit from fidgets to help distract them from life problems and help to better focus. We can use the most basic of materials to organize our materials and take charge of their own responsibilities.

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
