My Project

The materials in this project will help us get ready for a new school year! We will use the doorbell, folders, pencil sharpener, and books to set routines and expectations for success. The snacks will get us through those first weeks as we adjust to a new schedule.

My students deserve a well-prepared beginning to every school year.

This is their first school experience, and I love to make is special and welcoming each year!

Certain supplies are necessary and others just make our days easier and more fun as we learn to live as a school family, together. Learning and growing in school means we need supplies, snacks, furniture, and other things that I just cannot provide on my own.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
