My Project

My first graders are eager to learn, create, and grow, but they need the basic supplies that make meaningful learning possible every day. Our school is proud to provide basic school supplies for every student so families can focus on meeting other important needs at home. By helping supply our classrooms, awe can ensure every child starts the year with the tools they need to succeed.

Items like pencils, crayons, erasers, glue sticks, scissors, and folders are used daily across all subject areas to help students practice new skills, complete hands-on activities, and build confidence as young learners.

The Manila folders will be used to proudly display student work throughout the school year, allowing students to celebrate their growth and accomplishments. The plastic folders will be used for home-to-school communication, keeping important papers organized, and storing materials for literacy and math center work.

Having these classroom supplies readily available means students can stay engaged, organized, and focused on learning without worrying about whether they have the materials they need. These simple tools make a big difference in creating a positive, productive classroom where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Your generosity will help provide my first graders with the essentials they need to learn, grow, and shine all year long. Thank you for helping us build a strong foundation for a successful school year!
