Basic School Supplies to Start the Year

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murray's classroom raised $180

My Project

My students are in need of some basic school supplies to get our school year going right. We could use some Crayola colored pencils. They are the best because they last so long and sharpen well. We use them often to create diagrams and color pictures. We also are in need of Ticonderoga pencils, which last so much longer than other brands. We use pencils all the time to write answers and notes on paper. Having Kleenex tissues also great, because we can never have enough. Students get runny noses and need tissues to blow their nose. Cleaning wipes and sanitizer help out with this as well!

Having all of these wonderful school supplies will be such a great way to start out the school year.

We can’t wait for a new school year to begin!
