Off to a Good Start

Help me give my students a good start next year by having craft supplies readily available.

My Project

Crafts are fun and exciting and children love them. They are also disastrous if you don't have the things you need readily available. Having scissors for everyone and storage bins to organize everything, will ensure that doing crafts will not be an issue. The double-sided tape will allow us to display our crafts without causing damage to the walls.

These supplies will have our craft time where we need it to be...readily available, organized, and fun.

Fourth grade should be more enjoyable next year. Help me make this possible with your donations.
