My Students

Our school is located in a low income community. Online learning is difficult with so many families without computers. I rely on paper assignments and worksheets to grade students.

My students are very creative and would appreciate pencils and paper to create drawings for their art class.

My Project

Please help me supply my students with the supplies they need to draw and write during this time of home and online learning. I want to put paper and pencils in their little hands to create!

With the gift card to Teachers Pay Teachers I will have access to resources to print and deliver along with pencils and paper to complete their work.

My students just love it when they get new pencils and erasers!

Children just need a few items and a little motivation to get their imaginations going.
