My Project

As I begin planning for the new school year, I know my classroom will be needing many basics. I've created a list and hope you can help me fulfill this need for basic items for our classroom. These items will help our classroom stay clean and healthy and happy all year round.

I appreciate any donation to this project.

Your support means the world to me and to my children. We will need Kleenex for runny noses as well as Clorox wipes a paper towel to keep surfaces clean.

This project also includes materials needed to create bulletin boards to welcome the children to school, packing tape for repairing books, and Band-Aids for everyday boo-boos.

Please take a moment and consider donating to this project to help my classroom start off with another great year.
