Supplies for Second Semester

Help me give my students supplies to start off the second semester strong. They need pencil sharpeners, pencils, lead, and colored paper.

My Students

I teach a precious, diverse group of students. I love that my students come to school each day eager to learn new things and challenge themselves. They are dedicated to their schoolwork and making teaching fun!

My school is 91.8% poverty, yet my students come to school every day eager to learn and grow.

I adore teaching my students! My students come from a very mixed background socially, ethnically, and economically. Yet, they mix together as a classroom group beautifully.

My Project

Each year my students start off the school year strong with supplies. They either have their own supplies or I am able to supply them with what they need.

As second semester begins, our supplies are dwindling.

Our classroom pencil sharpener has broke and we are in desperate need of a new one. Some of my students prefer mechanical pencils, which means we also need replacement lead. Finally, students enjoy having their notes printed on color paper-it makes them more colorful and fun.

I am so excited to start the second semester with my students and they will be ready to finish the school year strong with a replenishment of supplies.
