Supplies Needed to Wrap Up the Year

Help me give my students the supplies they need as we approach the end of the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Watkins's classroom raised $270

My Project

I have the privilege of instructing a wonderful class of students. They have an uncommon joy of learning, are creative thinkers, and are eager. However, we have struggled to provide the fundamental tools children need to succeed. The demand started at the beginning of the school year because parents frequently cannot afford to purchase supplies for their kids. We, therefore, begin by sharing out of a shortfall.

However, your assistance will aid these students in need.

Your gift will go toward the buying of colored pencils, pencils, and markers. With the aid of these tools, students can annotate texts, identify sentence components, and create small anchor charts to help them understand a variety of concepts. Additionally, we will be able to buy binders to aid pupils in keeping their work organized. Your gift will assist students in getting the supplies they require to succeed from this point forward in the third trimester. Kindly think about contributing to this urgent need.
