Starting Off Strong!

Help me give my students a classroom that feels welcoming and is stocked with needed supplies!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Scott's classroom raised $323

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal every year is to provide my students with a classroom that is welcoming and a place where they feel safe. The supplies in this project will allow me to start off the school year strong with a fully stocked classroom. The decorations will also allow my classroom to feel warm and welcoming to all my students when they are in my room.

I want to make sure that all students feel welcomed and like they have the supplies to be successful!

These items will allow me to reach this goal!
