My Project

In two short weeks, a brand new school year begins! For us teachers, that means it is time to stock up. In my classroom, I keep supplies for all of the students: pencils, crayons, markers, dry erase markers & white boards, glue sticks, scissors. Many students come out without their own supplies, and I never want them to feel excluded or unprepared to learn. And even when they bring supplies, first graders use them up, lose them, or they run out by Thanksgiving break. Keeping my classroom stocked is the best solution! Thank you so much for considering donating to this project to help my little scholars have the best first grade year ever!
