My Project

I am teaching 5th-grade writing, spelling, and grammar. Please help me with the basic writing materials my students need. I am asking for consumable materials that are essential to our students’ success. I’m not asking for fluff or extra stuff, just the basics.

We are a rural community school that serves a large population of military families.

We have limited resources, but big potential. Partner with me by supporting this project and giving my students the basic supplies they need to develop their writing and literacy skills before entering middle school.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
