FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nelson's classroom raised $258

My Project

This is my ninth year teaching seventh grade, and I'm so excited! Many of my students come to school without basic school materials. As a school that has a lot of poverty, we are faced with many challenges that students can overcome as long as they have the materials they need to be successful.

These materials will allow my students to focus on starting the school year well instead of focusing on what materials they don't have.

I want to be able to supply my students with the basic school supplies like pencils, markers and easel pad paper to help the school year start successfully. By having the basic school supplies, our students will be able to start the school year strong.
