Write Stuff

Help me give my students everyday writing tools like pencils, markers, and erasers.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Meeks's classroom raised $256

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need markers, colored pencils, and erasers. We need refreshed art supplies to get creative in our class projects, and pencil boxes to help keep us organized. They love using mechanical pencils, and this has prevented replacing pencils daily! The dry-erase markers are used all day long. Students use them in their morning work and in small groups to work out math problems. The markers we currently have are old and dried out, and our colored pencils have been worn down throughout the year.

Help us get access to tools we use daily!
