My Students

My students are from an underprivileged area in North Philadelphia. They are energetic and love coming to school. They come to school each day ready to try new things and take chances to grow. They are simply inspirational!

Many students in my classroom have difficulty completing in-class assignments because of lack of supplies.

Many of my student's parents work multiple jobs to make ends meet. I know that buying school supplies are at the bottom of their priority. I'm creating this to help alleviate any burdens that the supply list may cause on my families.

My Project

Many of my students have difficulty completing classroom assignments because they do not have the supplies needed. In my experience, many of my students are missing the necessary supplies such as scissors and glue. I don't want them to feel sad or embarrassed when they come to school during the first few weeks and need to already borrow from others.

If I can help by aiding some of the basic back to school supplies for my students and their families that would make all the difference in the world.

Students will be able to use these supplies consistently throughout the day. Pencils, crayons, glue, and scissors help them complete their work. Tissues for any a runny nose and cleaning supplies to aid in keeping our classroom as germ-free as we can.

Please help alleviate some of the strain that back to school shopping causes for my families!
