My Project

I am asking for the items requested to help ease the financial burden many of our lower income families struggle with. The folders will help my Social Studies classes, and the binders will be to keep yearbook class organized. The pencil sharpeners are always needed in a middle school. The reptile lights will help our class pet stay happy and healthy, as he helps many of our students with mental health. The cushions will add additional comfort to our classroom.

All of these supplies will help make my classroom more comfortable and cost efficient.

I work at an Oklahoma A+ school in a low income area of our county, and these supplies will help families.

Grades 3-5
