My Project

Teachers must meet with the building administration on the first day of school. In recent years, they have shared the budget cuts with us. Since these general items are still needed, I purchase them myself. I would appreciate your help.

Many of my students do not have a decent meal at night, and asking them to provide classroom essentials seems unreasonable.

I am asking for items I need for the upcoming school year. Most of these items will be used in my classroom: pencils, pens, Kleenex facial tissue, paint supplies, ink for the printer on my desk, earphones for their laptops, and I plan to give each student a laptop mouse.

Your donation would not only benefit my students but also me immensely. Thank you in advance for considering this project.
