Let's Start the Year Off Right

Help me give my students a great start to a new school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Andersen's classroom raised $581

My Project

When we have all of the students needed to start a new school year, it helps to make a smooth beginning. When we don't have the essential items, it can be a rough start.

Paper, pens, pencils, and basic supplies are necessary.

Our students have been through a rough couple of years with the COVID-19 pandemic. Any normalcy we can help bring to their lives, especially in the classroom, is necessary. When students have enough to worry about in their personal lives, they don't need to worry about whether they have the right supplies or not.
