New Year, Start Smart

Help me give my students a better start to the new school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jackson's classroom raised $340

This project is fully funded

My Project

As the start of a new school year, is approaching I would like to help my students with being able to provide communication folders to help keep my parents informed. I would also like to help supply them with supplies such as pencils and erasers to help them start the school year prepared. The wipes will help keep my classroom clean and germ free. These items will help take some of the burden from the parents that may not be able to afford them, and keep the focus on learning.
