My Project

Hi! Thank you for considering donating to my classroom community! I am looking for donations for items that will keep my classroom smelling fresh and clean so that students feel like they have a safe place to learn. I am looking for things like Kleenex, cleaning wipes, air fresheners, and pencils...because we are always in need of pencils! If you've ever taught middle school or have a teenager, you know that things like the air fresheners are a complete necessity, especially after recess! Thank you again for considering supporting my classroom.
