My Project

I am asking for headphones, cleaning wipes for glasses, highlighters, band-aids, pencils, hardcover books, expo markers, red pens, colored pencils, and hair ties for my students. This will help them be able to further their learning in a quiet environment and the other supplies will help my students complete their tasks throughout the school day. These are items we use on a daily basis.

Because 50% of our students are free and reduced, these items will help their parents not have to buy extra supplies for their children.

This will also allow me to know that all of my students will have everything they need to have the best education possible.

Ms. Dean
Grades 3-5
