My Project

I love my students, and they are very responsible for most things. However, I firmly believe they must be eating our highlighters, erasers, and pencils! There is no other explanation as to how we go through so many supplies - unless they are writing that much!

Providing all supplies for my students is a luxury for me, but it is such a weight off their shoulders.

Supply costs add up so quickly, and I never want learning to be a financial burden on my families.

These supplies will ensure students are prepared for all of our learning experiences!
