Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

Help me give my students enough pencils to write with. Many of my students come without supplies, and I need help to make sure I have everything they need in our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Washington's classroom raised $169

My Project

My students are eager to learn. Having the supplies they need will ensure they are working at their best. Pencils come, and pencils go. By the end of the week, I am down to nothing. I want to make sure my students have enough pencils in school and take some to use at home. With your help, I can do just that. I will create a home kit for each of my students using the pencil cases. My students try so hard, and that is what makes me so proud of them.
