My Project

I teach at a Title I school, and most of our families are considered low-income. These supplies will take the burden of purchasing new supplies off the families and make it so all students have the same supplies daily. I never want a student to worry if they don't have a pencil.

I work with a diverse population of students who have varying needs and benefit from interactive lessons.

The supplies I'm requesting include folders, post its and dry erase markers. These are items that are heavily used daily. All of these items will be used during interactive lessons. I want to ensure they have everything they need to succeed at school and not worry about how they will get it.
