Much Needed Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students supplies for class to help foster their learning environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Dykes's classroom raised $334

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are exceptional! They are very energetic and eager to learn. At times, they do not have the necessary materials to be successful in class. Due to the impoverished area, most parents cannot afford supplies. Please help me give my students paper, pencils, notebooks, dry erase markers, pens, highlighters, sticky notes, and other supplies needed for class. I want to ensure I give them the educational experience without worrying about materials for class.

"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belong to those who prepare for it today."-Malcolm X
