New Year, New Supplies

Help me give my students items to use on a daily basis for them to be successful.

My Project

The school I teach at is a Title one-funded school and the majority of our families are considered low-income. These supplies will take the burden of purchasing new supplies off of the families and make it so all students have the same supplies to use each day. These materials will help my students be successful at completing tasks and learning at school.

I work with a diverse population of students who have varying needs and benefit from interactive lessons.

The supplies that are being requested include water bottle, water bottle stickers, binders, stamps, and zipper pouches to hold their headphones. These are essential items that are needed on a daily basis for my students to be successful.
