My Project

The beginning of the school year can be a stressful and expensive time. These supplies are going to help us start off the 2024-2025 school year with the supplies we need to start off strong.

A lot of the supplies at our school are bought by teachers or the front office, and therefore we run short.

I want to ensure that my students have everything they need to thrive in fourth grade.

Providing my students with basics such as headphones, engaging read alouds, expo markers, and notebooks will make instruction easier and effortless!

Ms. Runner
Grades 3-5
