Back to School Basics!

Help me give my students some basic school supplies to get the next school year started!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Connor's classroom raised $232

My Project

I am already preparing for next school year! I like to have supplies in my room for students who don't always have what they need. If I am able to give them supplies and not focus on them not having what they need then I am able to quickly focus on learning!

We need daily supplies to get through our day!

I am asking for headphones so each student can have their own pair to use throughout the year. I am also asking for paper, erasers, pens, Kleenex and band aids. Students regularly need these things throughout our day and having them on hand makes our daily routine go smoothly! Please help us get the basics to students!
