Pencils, Sharpeners, and More!

Help me give my students basic items that they need to get through the school year: pencils, a sharpener and markers!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brusca's classroom raised $159

My Project

The students in my school are super eager to learn, yet have limited resources to motivate them to be as successful as possible. They have many barriers and obstacles that they face every day of their lives, and often struggle socially and emotionally in school.

The trauma that they are faced with often deters them from doing their best in school; therefore, I am looking for a motivational tool to make them want to learn and be the best that they can be!

They will be successful in their work with our pencils, sharpeners, and markers!
