My Project

This project will provide the essential tools to fully participate in classroom activities, from writing and drawing to organizing assignments and taking notes. These supplies help students have supplies every day they're in the classroom. Every child deserves the chance to learn, and helping students with essential supplies levels the playing field and ensures that all students have the tools they need to succeed.

These supplies will provide the necessary tools and send a powerful message to my students that their education matters and that people care about their success.

With these resources, students will be able to have pencils to use every day, books to read, and have classroom supplies to help them become more
