My Project

As we continue to create a positive and supportive learning environment for our students, we are reaching out for your help. Our classroom is in need of a few essential items to ensure that all students have the tools they need to succeed. We are currently seeking donations of the following:

Clipboards for student organization and ease of work.

Cleaning supplies to maintain a clean and healthy classroom.

Tissues to help keep students comfortable throughout the day.Other basic necessities like dry-erase markers, paper, and hand sanitizer

Any contributions, big or small, would be greatly appreciated and will directly benefit our students. If you're able to help, please feel free to drop off items at the school or contact me for further details on how to make a donation.

Thank you so much for your continued support of our classroom and students. We are grateful for our community's generosity!
