The beat of need is strong! 50% of Tulsa County public school students live at or below the Federal Poverty Level. Many arrive without necessary school supplies, lack adequate supplies at home, or can't replace them at the semester's start. Teachers are spending $500 out of pocket annually. We aim to equalize the opportunity, provide the tools, and eliminate the teachers' financial burden. Together, we rock for success!
