My Project

Help me start the school year off with new supplies for my first grade students. Many of my students come from low income and getting the supplies they need to start the year off is hard. I would like to be able to know I have the supplies that are needed for day to day ahead of time, so parents do not have to stress if they cannot get something for their child. Every parent and teacher wants their kids to be successful but sometimes we all need a little bit of help to get there.

We need crayons, scissors, pencil pouches, glue sticks, art supplies, and many other classroom basics.
