My Project

The beginning of the school year brings many of the same basic materials teachers need to start the year and get ready for school. Folders, name tags, stickers, paper and more! I am writing this project to help cover the cost of the materials at the beginning of the school year that teachers have to purchase. It is vital to have things organized in order to start the year for Junior Kindergarten. The children look forward to finding their name through out the classroom and the new supplies that are provided. Cheers to 25 years of DonorsChoose!
