My Project

Classroom materials such as construction paper, laminating sheets, cleaning supplies and Kleenex are all basic supplies we use daily in my classroom. Unfortunately, many students’ families cannot afford to continually buy supplies for their children's classroom. We need these basic supplies in our classroom. We need these materials to help us learn! We often run out of basic materials in the middle of the year because of all the learning and projects we do. My students are such hard workers and deserve the basic classroom supplies. Please help our students continue to learn by donating basic school supplies to our classroom!
