Finishing the Year Strong!

Help me give my students classroom supplies and materials to finish out the year!

My Project

Providing class lights, in our team color purple, to help reduce the use of fluorescent lights in the class. Replenishing class cleaning and storage supplies can help my students feel safe and cared for as they finish the year strong.

As we navigate the second semester, students often need a restock of basic class essentials.

We will use Post-it notes for our upcoming article and poetry annotations. Along with restocked pencils and highlighters. The remaining materials will help replenish class supplies that will be accessed by all of my students.
