My Project

Our students are curious, creative, and full of energy. Each day, they come ready to learn, write, draw, and share their ideas, and we want to provide them with the tools to make every lesson meaningful.

This project will supply our classroom with everyday essentials—copy paper, pre-sharpened pencils, erasers, dry erase markers, permanent markers, and magnetic organizers—to help our students stay prepared, organized, and engaged.

The Tru-Red copy paper will give us the foundation for writing, drawing, and printing student work. The En-day pre-sharpened pencils will ensure that every child can begin learning without delay, while the Ticonderoga neon erasers remind students that mistakes are part of growth. Colorful Expo and Sharpie markers will make our lessons more vibrant and bring creativity to every project and chart. The acrylic magnetic holders will keep our supplies neat and accessible, reducing clutter and teaching students responsibility.

These resources may seem small, but they have a big impact: they build student confidence, support hands-on learning, and allow us to focus more on teaching and less on searching for materials. With your support, our classroom will become a brighter, more organized space where students are inspired to express themselves, think critically, and take pride in their learning every day.
