My Project

First grader are hard on school supplies. They also lose things they need sometimes. Backpacks can look like disaster zones. Students get upset when they can't find the things they need. Parents like to be informed of their student's progress and strategies for helping them. Having these strong folders will help them keep what they need, where they need it. Providing them with basic supplies can help ease anxieties for students who's families cannot afford them. Pencils, sharpeners, and something to keep them in are essential. It also a great time to start writing.

Help us stay organized and empower responsible for our own things.

We need folders that can stand the test of time and first grader. Strong and easy to clean, these folders will last all year long. Parents will be able to communicate easily with school.
