"Students are able to gain a more equitable education because they have access to supplies that they may not otherwise have access to. We can do projects and have a decorated classroom. They can worry about their work instead of tracking down pencils and notebooks. This is such a blessing to classrooms and we are appreciative of the support this program provides."
