My Project

In the reading room there are two teachers who share a room , which is divided into two sections. Together we see over 50 students a day! We supply them with basics so they do not need to carry supplies back and forth from their classrooms. This project would help supply our reading room with basic classroom supplies such as pencils, colored pencils, card stock, and laminating sheets! The reading room uses all these supplies throughout the entire year for all our students! Funding this project will be greatly appreciated as it would reach so many elementary students!
