Stocking Up Because the Budget Is Down

Help me give my students the essential supplies we need to support our basic needs in the classroom.

My Project

Our schools budget has been significantly cut for next year so that means we no longer have the excess funds to purchase things like tissues, clorox wipes, extra reams of paper, and lysol spray. I'm trying to gather as much as possible so we have enough to get through next year for my classroom and other classrooms.

Your donation would not just go to support my classroom, but many other classrooms who are also effected by the budget cuts.

Unfortunately we cannot always rely on our students families to bring in these supplies because of the cost, but we need them to support our students basic needs in the classroom.
