Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students classroom essentials such as pencils, crayons, and folders to help finish the year strong and to keep our classroom organized.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bigham's classroom raised $571

My Project

I love that my students are so creative and artistic. They are amazing individuals inside of our classroom community.

These essentials will help my students spend more time on the lesson/activity instead of losing time to search for pencils, crayons, glue, and scissors.

These items will make a huge impact on the organization and community in our classroom. The Kleenex will help with keeping everyone healthy and at school. Parent Communication folders will help with family engagement and keeping everyone informed. We will appreciate all the help with these items.
