My Project

The materials in this project allow for students and teachers to have the basic supplies they need in order to be successful during the 2022-2023 school year. During the year students use dry erase boards to solve problems. Throughout the years our student whiteboard erasers have become damaged and are no longer able to be used. This project allows me to replace those damaged and broken erasers with new ones that work.

Other items in the project are essential items such as pencils and markers.

These items are continually used throughout the year and often need to be replenished. Help give teachers and students the basic supplies they need.
