My Project

My students come to school every day, eager to learn. Unfortunately, more often than not they do not have the essential school supplies needed to succeed.

School supplies serve as essential tools that empower students to engage actively in the learning process.

From writing boards and clipboards to pencils and pencil sharpeners, these materials facilitate the acquisition and retention of knowledge. When my students have access to the necessary supplies, they are better equipped to participate in class discussions, complete assignments, and conduct independent research. This, in turn, contributes to a more dynamic and enriching educational experience.
