These cases help my students take pride in their new tools and keep our shared spaces tidy.\r\n* Clorox Wipes: Especially during this time of year, keeping our desks clean and our students healthy is a top priority. These wipes ensure we spend more time learning and less time worrying about germs.\r\n\r\nBeyond the Materials\r\n\r\nWhen a project like this is funded, it sends a powerful message to my students: their education matters to people beyond our school walls.
