My Project

My students are wonderful little people. They come from very diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. I would like to welcome them with classroom supplies to help them start the year off strong.

It is incredible how little things like pencils, primary writing paper and inspirational posters will get them excited for the start of the school year.

These types of supplies are always needed throughout the year to help student learn new skills. These are also the type of supplies that we are always running out of.

Thank you in advance for helping to support our classroom with much needed basic supplies!
