My Project

Thank you for donating to my classroom project. I am seeking funding for classroom essentials like pencils, highlighters, tissue and clorox wipes, but also markers, clay, colored cardstock and construction paper for creative projects. To motivate and inspire students, I would also like to provide fun rewards like water bottle stickers and fidget toys. Students love to earn these small rewards and it makes learning fun and engaging! I very much appreciate your support and look forward to creating hands on, creative activities for my students inspired by your generosity.
