Help me give my students new folders for our classroom. These stay in our classroom and are used to organize their work. Their current folders are falling apart.

My Project

I am requesting plastic folders for my classroom. I purchased paper folders at the beginning of the year for each student. They are currently falling apart. I was hoping to supply the students with plastic folders so that they can use them not only this year, but for next year too. I have middle school students who I will have two years in a row. Providing them with a more heavy duty folder will allow me to reuse them for several years without having to repurchase them every year. My students use their folders everyday to store their notes and track their data in them.

Pencils are always a must in math class.

I have a pencil parking lot where students check out pencils but they are currently running low as well as my pencil sharpener not working properly. To keep class running smoothly my students just need the basics. Any donation would be greatly appreciated so we can finish the year strong.
