My Project

Throughout the year, we have ran out of Kleenex facial tissue, Crayola crayons, erasers, and our pencil boxes have become tattered and broken. This has proven difficult in completing everyday assignments with ease.

These items will give my students the basic materials they use daily to be successful!

We are hoping to finish the school year strong by using these materials and preparing for 2nd grade! My students have learned so much this year and I don't want the lack of proper supplies to yield them from reaching the goals we have set. Please consider helping us get back on track with the basics!
