My Project

I am helping get our department ready for the 2026-2026 school year. Every year all 7 members of our department need pencils and tissues to help our students be successful.

“Ms. Kartak, I lost my pencil.” “Ms. Kartak, do you have any more tissues?” There are many other similar phrases being thrown around in my room daily.

I don’t want students to waste time scrounging for a pencil or sniffling constantly because they have a runny nose. Having these items readily available makes the day run smooth. Plus, the students appreciate it.
