My Project

My students come from a low-income, Title I school (100% free lunch) and are always struggling with supplies and classroom necessities.

By the end of 2024, our classroom decorations and materials are growing older and older.

It is time for us to refresh our classroom! We need bulletin boards with new paper and border, restock on some cleaning supplies such as floor wipes, paper towels, and Lysol. I am also requesting basic classroom supplies and organization fixtures to help modernize my classroom for the new round of students! All donations are appreciated.

Ms. Ly
Grades 9-12
