My Project

The supplies that I am requesting will be used to complete the last two months of school. Our classroom has run out of pencils, they have broken their homework folders, and exhausted the ink in their highlighters. Giving all of my students the basic supplies and a place to store them will ensure that all of the students in my class have the supplies and materials that they need to learn to the best of their abilities. I am requesting basic school supplies to equip my students with everything they need in school and at home. My students love learning, but often do not have what they need to be successful. They come to school and have to borrow a pencil to work during the day or take one home to complete homework.
