He Needs, She Needs, Let's Supply All Needs!

My students need poster markers, poster paper, awards, pencils, erasers, binders, and other materials to help our classroom run more smoothly and be organized.

My Students

At this time of the year my students are really focused on their learning, but we've discovered some items that we need in order for our classroom to run more smoothly.

My students are wonderful and I wouldn't trade them for the world.

They brainstorm ideas all the time on what we can use if we don't have exactly the right materials. Our district is 54% economically disadvantaged and sometimes getting all we need just isn't possible.

My Project

My students will create posters, organize their work, and have the pencils and erasers they need. These materials will supply some of our basic needs in our classroom. Having these materials will greatly improve how efficiently we learn and will allow us to have the right materials.

These simple materials are gifts to my students.

These simple materials show that a community of people care for them and want them to have what they need to be successful. A fresh pencil can change their world.
