My Project

Hello, and thank you for considering donating to our classroom!

My students are in need of some basic survival items to get through the rest of the school year.

Middle school eats lunch SO early in the day that, by last bell, they are so hungry. Not to mention, this time of year we are having after school rehearsals often to prepare for district assessment and then our spring concert, and I certainly can't afford to buy these materials myself. The district is also running low on tissues, and I'd like to supply my kiddos with re-useable water bottles to keep so that they can stay properly hydrated throughout the day and keep those colds away.

Thank you for supporting our students so they can focus on learning!
