Basic Needs Are Necessary Essentials to Ensure the Best Education
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. DeClusin's classroom raised $577
This project is fully funded
My Project
Some students are lucky to make it to school each day, let alone have school supplies. If I can provide them with supplies and remove that one bit of stress, they may be able to focus more on the classroom and less on the fact that they are not prepared to learn. By giving them these supplies, including spiral notebooks, pencils, and colored pencils, they will now feel prepared and they will be able to "breathe" and better focus on the daily content, in return becoming better prepared for their future. You truly would be a lifesaver to both them and me.
This classroom project was brought to life by Governor Jared Polis.
