My Project

These items seem like basic items for a classroom, but the brands matter and make a world of difference. Elmer's glue does not dry up, good Post-its don't fall off what you stick them to, and Sharpie brand markers do not run out of ink after a few uses.

These items will allow us to have quality school supplies that will last the whole year and make learning colorful and fun.

Sometimes the ability to use a bright-colored Post-it note or an erasable pen makes the task much less cumbersome!

This project will benefit students in multiple grade levels and in all subject areas, as they are all generic school supplies.
