My Project

Hello,

How can school be back in session already?

My name is Brandi and I teach at a wonderful school where more than half of my students are in poverty. They are a diverse group who could use some supplies in the classroom. These supplies, would be beneficial for me as a teacher and them, as learners.

My students are amazing and really enjoy learning but lack of supplies are a problem. Most of them cannot afford pencils.

Please find it in your heart to help us.

Thank you,

Ms Brandi
