Help me give my students a amazing start to a great school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Whitaker's classroom raised $161

My Project

A start to a great school year brings good energy into the classroom. Often younger students need basic resources to complete tasks or assignments. To keep the germs down and everyone safe wipes are never enough. Basic supplies like pencils, pens, and rulers are often in short supply. Taking the worry out of the equation makes teaching much simpler and easier for us educators, parents, and students.

Thank you in advance for your support in helping me add to my personal list of supplies I have in my room along with the few I have from the previous school year.

This will allow for us all to focus on the main thin…an education.
