My Students

It is that time of year again. Time to start thinking about all the things my students and I will need to be on top of our academic game in the fall! The needs are basic really. Paper, pencils, markers, and ink.

My students attend a Title 1 school in North Alabama.

They have been using Accelerated Reading and Accelerated Math programs since the second grade. My students love these programs! They allow them to work at their own level and pace and give them instant feedback. Unfortunately, these programs also use up a lot of paper and ink and toner.

My Project

I am requesting some very basic necessities. No. 2 pencils, white copy paper, dry erase markers for small group math instruction, and ink and toner to run Accelerated Math and Reading reports. These materials will be just what we need to hit the ground running in August!

Please consider donating to this extremely important project.

Give my students the necessary tools they need to start the school year off right. A good start can lead to a first place finish!
