My Project

I am asking for pencils, paper, and colored pencils for our math and science classroom.

Sometimes, all we need are the basics to start off the new year on a great foot!

These supplies will allow us to focus on our learning and grow in our mathematical and scientific abilities.

Each day we will be using the pencils and paper. The color pencils will allow us to color code words in science or highlight important parts of a mathematical word problem. Your donation will not only help us start off the school year but will continue to help us throughout!
