DONATE SCHOOL SUPPLIES TO A CLASSROOM IN NEED Donations can be left at 1000 Elm Street @ the Latinos on the Move Office 

In low-income districts, school supplies are a luxury that many classrooms go without. A few months into the school year, teachers are given a small bag of limited, mismatched school supplies and are told to "make do."

Often, teachers must purchase the supplies needed to run the classroom out of their own pocket. In fact, teachers spend an average of $700 out-of-pocket on school supplies every single year!

Our children deserve the tools needed for a proper education! These children are OUR future!

OUR children deserve to have access to school supplies needed to learn. They should be surrounded by good books, convenient supplies, and the materials necessary to accomplish school projects and experiments.

Students, who aren't given the essential school supplies such as books, pencils, and plenty of paper, can become discouraged and have a difficult time in class.

Readily available school supplies let students and teachers focus on what's really important and that would be LEARNING!You can help kids have a better education by donating school supplies to a classroom in need!
