My Project

Each year my classroom budget for supplies is less due to cost cutting measures. This increasingly means I need to take on more of the cost of basic supplies in addition to any more specific science supplies needed.

I am asking, humbly, for your donation to fund some basic supplies for my students in the coming school year.

By donating these supplies, I will be able to meet some of the basic needs of my students. An overwhelming majority of my students come from families who cannot afford to send their children to school with supplies. They are faced with choices of dealing with food insecurity, clothing, or inflation related living costs.

Please help my students out with donating some of the basic supplies needed for my classroom.

Mr. Praschak
Grades 6-8
