We love the back-to-school season: It’s a time for fresh starts, new beginnings, and, of course, much-needed classroom supplies. We've been excited about a new series here on the blog: classroom recipes. We’ll share “ingredient lists” of supplies you can order through DonorsChoose, inspired by real classrooms. Let’s see what you can cook up! Inspired by anything you see? Create a new project!
