Start The Year Off With a Bang!

Help me give my students the supplies they need to start the school year off strong.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Miles's classroom raised $651

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items I am requesting will help my students start the year off with a bang! With these items, we will have the classroom supplies ready to go and start learning on the very first day of school!

These items will help students stay organized and take pride in their work.

The books, along with the watercolor and acrylic paints will also help make learning fun! This is important because I want my students to be excited to come to school each day. There are also several school essentials that will help our classroom run smoothly.
