My Project

Please help give our students new supplies to kick off a great new year! Our students need materials to help make their year in fourth grade a success! With your help, every student will have what they need to learn!

With this project, students will never have to worry about having the right materials to succeed!

Helping us stock our classroom with the supplies that our students need will ensure that they have nothing stopping them from reaching their greatest potential. Our students need new colored pencils, markers, scissors, and dry erase writing supplies to complete many different assignments across all content areas. With new book bins, labels, and clipboards students can keep themselves, their work, and their materials organized and ready to complete the next assignment! These class sets of materials mean that all students will have their own tools to succeed - no waiting for someone to finish with materials or not being able to complete their work because of broken writing instruments!

Please consider donating to our project to ensure that our students have a great kick start to an awesome Year! Thank you for supporting our students!
