My Project

Our classroom is dedicated to creating an environment that not only supports learning but also nurtures a sense of responsibility for our planet. We are seeking donations to purchase biodegradable office supplies and school materials that are eco-friendly, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

With your generous support, we hope to supply our students with items like recycled paper, biodegradable markers, compostable pens, plant-based binders, and eco-friendly classroom organizers.

These materials will not only reduce our environmental footprint but also teach students the importance of caring for the Earth, fostering a generation of mindful and responsible individuals.

By supporting this project, you are helping us build a greener classroom while empowering students to make sustainable choices. Together, we can create a learning environment that both educates and respects the environment. Thank you for helping us take this important step toward sustainability!
