End of The Year Refresh

Help me give my students end of the year supplies to finish our year strong!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sorley's classroom raised $239

This project is fully funded

My Project

The 5th graders in my class in Buffalo have not only been working hard to meet their learning goals this year but also built relationships and had fun while doing so! They have learned to set goals for themselves in reading and math and have built habits that will help them accomplish their goals. Their consistent motivation and desire to succeed inspires me every day.

While my students have been hard at work, a lot of the supplies they were provided with at the beginning of the year are starting to wear and tear or are used up.

Many of my students and their families are unable to provide additional school supplies. With your support, I will be able to refresh our classroom with paper, tape, and other materials that will not only help my students engage in lessons but also materials that will keep our classroom clean and organized.

Thank you in advance for supporting students learning adventures!
