FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vaughn's classroom raised $1,538

My Project

My students are in need of basic school supplies like binders, journals and folders as well as classroom cleaning materials to help them finish this school year off strong. Most school days are pretty difficult for my students because even though they adore school they do not have adequate supplies to complete a whole day of learning. We are completing half the school year and I noticed that the school supplies and cleaning materials are running extremely low and may not last until this school year is complete. Please help us keep learning happening for all students at our school, so that they will have less worries and more learning opportunities.
