My Project

This fall, I am entering into my very own classroom for the first time.

These third grade students deserve the very best.

Coming out of college after student teaching, means I have been unable to work all spring, making it extremely hard to fund a full classroom.

Your donations will mean so much to me and my students. I have included in this list, the absolute ESSENTIALS, items that students cannot learn without. Markers, pencils, glue, anchor charts, paper, and erasers, will be used during mini lessons and independent work time. Wipes will be used to keep our class clean and students healthy.

Ms. Letterman
Never Before Funded Grades 3-5
  • Lyon Elementary School
  • Republic, MO
    • More than a third of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 24 students.
