Bright Start to Second Semester

Help me give my students colorful paper to help organize our remaining units, filler paper to fill their folders, and pencils so we don't need to stress!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. D.'s classroom raised $348

My Students

My students are an astounding group of children. They come in every day excited to learn and to see what fun activities we are going to do together. Many of my students come from very little and don’t always have what they need for that day. There are many students in our Title I school, and getting supplies for each one of them can sometimes be a challenge.

These projects will help my students succeed and reach levels they never imagined they could before!

My students should be able to walk into the classroom and not think negatively, as in "I forgot my pencil" or "I ran out of room in my notebook." My students should be able to think positively and openly, as in "I know my school and teacher have my back, and I will be able to learn the way I need to."

My Project

Now is the time of year when student supplies begin to run low and we begin to stress about being prepared for our day. With your donation, students can come into class knowing we have their back! Students will be using the brightly colored paper for various projects concerning genetics and the human body.

Our colored paper will help brighten our hallways, classroom, and notebooks!

We are beginning to run low on filler paper for our warm up folders and pencils to complete our work. With your donation, we can help finish the year strong, just like we started our year!
