My Project

Most of my students receive free lunch because their parent or guardian has an income below the state poverty level. Since many students have difficulties with purchasing materials needed for class I continue to share pens with students.

My students will use pens in each class and at home to complete assignments and projects.

Students who are not on my rosters know that they can ask me for whatever they need. If I have it, then they can get it. Therefore, my classes will use supplies in their personal area in each class.
