My Project

Hey everyone! This coming school year, I'll be setting off on a new adventure at a new school in a different grade. With all the excitement and nervousness, I'll need new or additional books, educational toys, and decorations for my new class. Any donation would be GREATLY appreciated (as I already spent too much at Hobby Lobby and still need more supplies). I also want to thank everyone who has already donated to other causes; kindness is often overlooked. I hope everyone has a marvelous day, and I appreciate you :)
