My Project

I love our school & our students. Our school is made up of amazing students and teachers. We need copy paper for our classrooms so that the teachers have the supplies they need for their students. We only receive a limited supply every semester per school budget. Every teacher runs out and has to buy paper out of pocket.

Having plenty of paper will encourage more student creativity and writing.

Activities with paper are currently limited due to the amount of paper use needed. Other supplies such as pens, glue, dry erase markers & erasers are essential to the daily activities in our classroom. They are also items that we go through quickly due to the need to use.
