My Project

Basic classroom materials such as the requested pencil sharpener, chair pockets, colored pencils, folders and more are all basic supplies we use daily. Unfortunately, many students’ families cannot afford to continually buy supplies for their children. We need these basic supplies in our classroom. We need these materials to help us learn! Providing my students with the necessary school supplies to be successful is a great way to start their school experience.

These school supplies will support learning in the classroom.

Students will have brand-new items to support their creativity. It will mean the world to my students to begin the school year with these excellent school supplies.
