Let's Start Writing!

Help me give my students a space to do some quality writing with new portable desks and super sharp pencils!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Garrett's classroom raised $338

My Project

Currently, my students only have their desks to complete their activities. Our class is a bit small to fit all 32 students, so I'd like to offer the chance for some to have some seating options. With these portable desks, they can sit on the classroom rug and have a little bit of their own space to do some writing. Also, we burn through pencils at an alarming rate so I'd like to have a few more quality pencils available for the class.

With your donation today, you'll be providing our class with plenty of pencils and six portable work spaces where students can move from their desks to other areas in our classroom.

Thank you for considering a donation to help my students.
