Ms. Jo's Midyear Restock

Help me give my students the supplies needed (markers, storage drawers, pencils, etc.) to get through the second half of the year.

My Project

With first semester coming to a close, we are right at the midway point of the 2022-2023 school year. We started the year with all kinds of supplies and materials; but now upon taking inventory, I see we need a restock to make it through the rest of the year.

Having adequate school supplies and materials is one of the first steps to success.

My students are able to feel prepared when given the appropriate tools, such as highlighters and pens, and that is exactly what we are asking for with this project; the appropriate tools to help us rock second semester.
