My Project

The fourth and fifth graders of room 19 are working hard this year. We have a good stock of the basic school supplies for now but may run out of some items before the end of the school year. This project will replenish our stock and help us to have a strong start to next school year.

I've included some very basic items, like pencils and some more extravagant items, like watercolor paint sets and watercolor paper.

Your generous donations will help us get through the year without a hiccup.

Thank you so much for helping make our school year amazing for an amazing group of students.
