My Project

These supplies will help keep our classroom running effectually throughout the school year and for years to come.

When students have the materials that they need to be successful this is the first step in creating lifelong learners.

Some of these supplies will help with organizing the classroom to make the environment the most conducive to learning. I am so proud of the diverse group of learners I have, they work day in and day out and would love to spoil them with new supplies. My students and I appreciate your support in my classroom.
