A Clean Slate For A New Year

Help me give my students an organized and clean start to a new year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Berry's classroom raised $516

This project is fully funded

My Project

These supplies will allow me to give my students a clean, fresh start to a new school year! I have changed from individual desks to a table set up in my classroom for this next school year, so I would like to have a supply caddy at each table with all of the necessary supplies like scissors, glue and pencils for group projects, individual projects, essay writing, etc. This will also eliminate students having to constantly get up to go to a supply table. Instead, they can focus on the project or task at hand without having to be interrupted to go get supplies. It will also free up table space for me so that I can use that space for something better than supplies!

Students deserve to start each school year with fresh supplies that are organized in such a way that it minimizes distractions and maximizes learning!

We usually don't receive our classroom supply money until around November, which is late. I would like to start the year in August with fresh supplies for my students. Thank you for your help with this project!
