My Project

Being prepared for class is one of the most important tasks in a student’s day! Sometimes students don’t have the ability to afford school supplies and this can set them up for a terrible day! As a Middle School Science teacher, I see most of the students either at the beginning, middle, or end of the day, which means I hear and see the effects of students coming to class unprepared! By providing these class sets of school supplies, my scientists will always be prepared for class and won’t feel discouraged!
