My Project

My students are starting middle school as the "babies". They come to school excited, but for the most part without basic materials. These items will help keep kids on target and hopefully healthy, hence the wipes!

Most of my students come from low income homes.

They rely on teachers for the materials they need for assignments or everyday work.

Paper is an obvious need, but I would love gel pens for those students who like to color code their work.i would appreciate anything that you would be will to purchase for my new 6th graders!
