My Project

We are almost at the end of the school year. I am so proud of my students for working so hard. There are some supplies that we are in need of. We are just about out of pencils and erasers.

I want to ensure all of my first graders have the tools they need to finish the year strong and successful.

I like to make sure we have plenty of tools so my students can have pencils for home and school as well.

Thank you for considering donating to this project.
