My Project
This school year is going to be amazing! I am always excited for the beginning of the school year. I teach at a Title One school and their families aren't fortunate enough to purchase school supplies. This project will allow all of my students brand new supplies to start off the school year!
I will be thrilled for my students to begin the school year with the supplies needed for a successful year!
I am hopeful to have the supplies included in this project - pencils, headphones, dry erase markers and a Teacher Pay Teachers gift card.
These supplies will help spark creativity, boost confidence, and level the learning field. Your support makes a real difference. Give today. Empower tomorrow. Thank you for taking the time to donate and for helping me make back-to-school something to remember.
