Starting With a Bang

Help me give my students a great school year by being prepared with school materials they will need like notebooks, scissors, paper, pencils, glue sticks, folders, and pens.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wilson's classroom raised $390

My Students

My scholars are creative and amazing. They love doing creative projects like drawing, writing, painting, acting, making dance, etc. They have a love for learning and they also love being active in their learning.

My scholars are very inquisitive and curious about how to make real world connections to their every day learning.

My Project

My scholars love to learn and are eager to grow in their academics. I know that some of my scholars are coming from homes in Charlotte, NC that can not always provide their basic needs.

Having help from someone else is greatly appreciated as my scholars need basic school supplies to help facilitate their learning.

Scholars cannot focus on lessons being taught when they are worried about if they have what they need to complete their work.

I have requested pencils, pens, folders, paper, glue sticks, notebooks, and scissors. Helping to donate to this project will give my scholars peace of mind that they can come to school to focus solely on their learning.
