Surprise, Surprise, Surprise -We Love to Get Donated With Supplies!

Help me give my students the supplies they need to kick this school year off right

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Berry's classroom raised $372

This project is fully funded

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students would help begin the school year strong. I teach two classes of students and many times there are not enough pencils, pens, paper and support materials for all my students.

The paper, pencils, markers, and other supplies will be used by the students so that they may create books, do book reports, design projects, and do other educational activities in the classroom.

All the supplies and resources you help donate to will be so greatly appreciated! We just need your support in getting everything to our door!

We would be soooo very grateful!
