Basic Supplies Like Pencil Sharpeners

Help me give my students the basic supplies they need to learn. Our school budgets have been severely cut in the last few years.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Travis's classroom raised $768

My Project

Classrooms like mine have been affected with budget cuts for the past several years. You would probably be surprised to hear that I only have $150 to spend on classroom supplies per year/ and I have about 150 students. That includes buying copy paper as well as all other materials students need to learn. My school has been supplying kids with pencils and binders as well as some basic supplies because finances have been difficult for so many families especially since COVID and now that the Maui fires have affected so many. I am asking for simple supplies like a class set of hand held pencil sharpeners and pencil boxes to help keep the class organized.

I have also requested some healthy snacks to keep these kids motivated!

With supporting from generous donors like you, it will help make the year more productive and delicious!
