My Project

I am the K-12 Library Media Specialist at my school of around 600 students! The library is the heart of the school, and I have visitors from K-12th grade all day long! I also teach library and technology classes throughout the school day!

Giving my students little treats throughout the year really brightens their day and who would use a little sunshine during their day!

This project is to stock up on different gum, mint, and other individually wrapped candy items that I can keep out daily to give to my students! It gets expensive funding this on my own throughout the school year and this project would really stock me up as the items go very quickly! I appreciate any help toward this project!
