Classroom Restock

Help me give my students markers, mechanical pencils, earbuds and other basic supplies necessary to be prepared for their classwork.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Meeks's classroom raised $299

My Project

I need your help in restocking some items that we use every day. Many of my students come to school without basic supplies. I want to give them mechanical pencils, markers, and earbuds to use daily. These basic supplies will help my students complete school work both in school and at home.

Please help me give my students the basic supplies necessary to be prepared for their classwork.

I don't want my student to be worried about not having the basic school supplies necessary to come to school prepared.
