Incoming Kindergarteners Need Supplies!

Help me give my students hand sanitizer, masking tape, Lysol wipes, name plates, adhesive name plate sleeves, skin color crayons, supply pouches, flair pens, and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.

My Project

My incoming kindergarten students in the fall will need a variety of supplies. We will need name plates and adhesive name plate holders, so kids will know where to sit and how to spell their names. We will need Lysol wipes and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers to clean off our desks. We will need skin color crayons and individual sturdy pouches to store crayons. We will need flair pens for drawing, writing, and solving math problems.

Your donation will provide my students with essential beginning of the year school supplies!
