My Project

The beginnings of school years are always exciting and tough! Please help me make their transition smooth and easier.

These markers, pens, notebooks, device charging station, pencil sharpeners, etc will definitely help them jumpstart the new school year!

Some kids will always be in need of something- whether it’s a pen, pencil or a tissue… let us make sure they have it.

My students will definitely benefit from these materials because not every student who enters the classroom is fully equipped with the materials they need. My students come from economically disadvantaged households but despite the challenges and obstacles they face daily, they always shine!

And let us make them shine brighter. Thank you!
