My Project

I teach at s beautiful school in Miami. Even though we just started the second nine weeks of the school year, I am in dire need of pencils, composition books, glue sticks, cardstock paper, and copy paper for my students.

We need these basic supplies in order for my students to continue to work and succeed seamlessly.

The cardstock paper will be used for projects and arts and crafts. The pencils, glue sticks, and composition books are for students who do not have school supplies.

The copy paper would allow me to print assignments, home learning activities, and valuable resources for my students. Thank you for donating!
