FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gould's classroom raised $382

My Project

My students are hardworking individuals that often times are lacking in basic supplies. Most times they come to school without the basic necessities to function in a classroom. They need pencils, markers, and tissues to better achieve in class.

What others take for granted, my students often do without, or with very little.

Most people assume that every student has a pencil, however this is often not the case. Pencils, dry erase markers, and tissues are basic needs in a class. My students deserve to have the world, and their world begins with basic school supplies.
