Starting Off On The Right Foot!

Help me give my students all of our basic classroom supplies needed to start the next year off right, including Kleenex, water bottles, notebooks, and more.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Harkins's classroom raised $379

My Project

My students need and will use all of these resources on a daily basis. I can't even begin to tell you how many crayons, glue sticks, notebooks, and tissues we go through each year. We always run out of wipes and Band-Aids. Your help with restocking is so greatly appreciated. When everyone has what they need to learn, my students are able to work hard to grow as readers.

These are basic supplies that are essential for our reading, writing, and researching classroom.

Funding this project would help us as we begin another great year.
