Ending the Year With What We Need

Help me give my students odd and ends to finish the school year strong.

My Project

Teaching requires so many materials at all points in the year. Restocking through out the year is essential. The materials in this project will give me students some odds and ends to make it to the end of the school year.

Creating an environment where my students feel safe and all their needs are met is so important.

Learning cannot happen if the basic needs of students are not met. The materials in this project will help meet those basic needs. Lip balm helps students with chapped lips feel more comfortable, paper towels allow students independence when cleaning up messes, and the laminator and pouches provide me the opportunity celebrate high-quality work that students can save for years. Your donation helps make our classroom a safe place to work and learn.
