Help Local Students Start School Excited and Prepared to Learn!
Success starts with supplies. The new school year begins August 11, and thousands of local students will not have the tools they need to walk into class confident and ready to shine.
In Central Florida, more than 70% of public schools are considered high-need. Teachers do their best to prepare their classrooms to provide equal access to pencils, notebooks, and other learning essentials – but they shouldn’t have to do it alone.
Starting a supply drive or making a donation today can change that! You can provide students the tools they need, and teachers the resources to help every child learn.
