Desperate For School Supplies. Please Help!

My students need basic supplies, including jumbo pencils, crayons, dry erase markers, 30 writing prompt journals and glue sticks.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. R.'s classroom raised $415

This project is fully funded

Due to extreme budget cuts, our kindergarten class is in desperate need of basic school supplies. I teach full day kindergarten in a high need community.

We have currently begun the the school year with no supplies. I have purchased pencils and a few boxes of crayons to begin our school year. A majority of these students come from low income families and are unable to purchase these supplies for their children.

I am seeking your help in purchasing a few supplies to get these children through the school year. We are in need of primary pencils, crayons, glue sticks, writing journals, and markers. These materials will be used daily for a variety of activities. Young children need lots of hands on activities to keep them engaged and that becomes extremely challenging when our supplies and materials are limited.

Please help me give these children the kind of education they deserve. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated by us all. Thank you!
