I am part of a group that wants to make a difference in a city school by aiming to collect supplies or money for a program at a middle school. Music program, sports, just classroom supplies...whatever.
This donation would probably be given in March or April, for various reasons (but you can try to talk me out of that).
I'm not administration and I can't fix all the problems your students have before they even walk into school and try to learn. But give me something that I can do that might support your best efforts.
