A Fresh, Colorful Start in 2024!

Help me give my students a fresh start in 2024! Our supplies have been well used. Our crayons are broken. Our markers have dried up. Our cords are frayed (and the erasers have just disappeared!)

This project expired on May 11, 2024.

My Project

Keeping my sweet Title I students motivated and excited to learn isn’t hard to do - they just need a colorful incentive! We all remember the sight and smell of a new box of crayons! We couldn’t wait to get started on a new project!

My students often use left over supplies from last year or receive pre-packaged school supplies from local business which, as wonderful as they are, are filled with supplies purchased for volume not quality.

New supplies for a new year will thrill my first graders and get the semester started on a bright note!
