Basic Classroom Needs

Help me give my students basic needs to start the new year right!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dennis's classroom raised $276

This project is fully funded

My Project

The materials I am asking for are to help with basic needs to start off the 2024-2025 school year.

These materials will help to take the financial burden off both myself and my student's parents.

These basic needs are not supplied by my school. Every year I ask parents to send in tissues and paper towels to help us to get through the school year. I also spend my own money to buy items such as pens, markers and pencil sharpeners. If these supplies can be supplied by generous donors, it will help the school year get off to a great start!
