My Project

We use disinfectant wipes on our desks every day to keep students from getting sick, but they are not provided by the school. They are either teacher or parent contributions to the class.

We need classroom printer toner because it is also not provided by the district.

We have progress reports and report cards to print as well as colorful visuals to make the classroom environment more engaging and interesting.

Science, Math, and Language arts all require a lot of printed materials. The staff printed only prints in black, and is not always accessible during our limited prep times. Thank you for your help providing for my students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
