Help Mrs. Akowitz

My Students

My students are hard workers. They always try their best and never give up when things are difficult. Right now with schools being closed they do not have the supplies they need at home to complete their assignments.

Please help give my students the materials they need for being successful during these tough times.

My Project

Please help me give my students learning materials for home and distance learning while schools are closed. My students are not able to go into the stores at this time and purchase the materials they need at home to complete their assignments.

My students need crayons, pencils, glue, scissors, earbuds, and writing journals.

They also need a holder for these items to keep them in a safe place. With your help, I will be able to deliver these materials to each one of my students. I know they will greatly appreciate having these materials.
