FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dye's classroom raised $175

My Project

Basic supplies are always needed at the beginning of the school year. My students need to be prepared for learning and not worrying about having a pencil to write with or paper to paint on.

Highlighters, masking tape, sticky notes and Kleenex tissues are only the tip of the supply list needed each day.

Learning needs to be the focus and not deciding on what we are limited to do with the few supplies we have.

Resources are very hard for low income families to provide for their child. Your support for this project will give the supplies that we need. My students are eager learners and love to learn about the world around them.
