My Project

Basic classroom materials—such as dry erase markers, glue, and pencils,—are essential for daily learning. Unfortunately, many of our students’ families cannot afford to continuously replenish these supplies.

My students are hardworking and deserve the same basic classroom resources that more privileged schools can easily provide.

As the year progresses, we often run out of materials due to the many learning activities and projects we do.

Please help support our students' education by donating essential school supplies to our classroom. Your generosity makes a difference! Our students want to learn!
