My Project

The beginning of the year is a crazy busy time of learning routines, procedures, and scheduling. With this year being on the heels of a pandemic (with new cases rolling in causing kids to miss their learning time in school), it means that parents being able to share supplies is at a much lower rate. Teachers spend SO much of their personal money to stock the classroom and share supplies with their students. The items in this wish list will go a very long way towards helping me offset that cost. Thank you so much!
