My Project

Seventh grade year is such an exciting time for students as they grow more comfortable with their middle school setting and begin thinking about their futures. The materials from this project will help me to provide them with a fresh start in school and foster a sense of community in my classroom.

Most of my students come from low income households and cannot always afford to bring in simple supplies such as pencils or markers.

Using laminated sheets and wipes will help my students when working around the classroom and in small groups. Each year donators have helped my students get the basic necessities that they need.

Please consider donating to my students once again and we thank you for all your help!
