My Project

My students are some of the most hardworking students because they came to America for a better life and education.

They left their home countries where there was crisis and war, to learn all they can every day in school in order to be successful so they can provide a better life for themselves and their families.

When refugee or immigrant students come here, many times they come with the clothing on their backs. There are basic things they need in school.

I want to be able to create Starter Packs for each ENL student that comes into my school. These supplies would include basic necessities that they need for each class so they are prepared and organized.

I want my students who come into a brand new country and school, to be welcomed with some supplies that show I care and show them I want them to succeed.
