Surprise Us With Some Supplies

Help me give my students the supplies they need for the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Berry's classroom raised $493

My Project

School supplies are an important part of any classroom and student learning. As we enter a new school year, I would like to support my students with new school supplies.

Many students begin the school year with no school supplies and are in need of pencils, markers, pens, paper and notebooks.

We have many families that can't afford school supplies. Having supplies ready for those families would be great. I want all my students to start off the school year feeling great.

These school supplies will support learning, creativity and productivity in the classroom.

Also, I believe helping to provide these necessary school supplies is a great way to support my students educational experience.

It would mean the world to my students to begin the school year with these much needed school supplies.
