My Project

Unfortunately, due to extreme budget cuts, our students and teachers are solely responsible for basic classroom materials. This shortage is even for simple supplies such as tissues, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and paper towels. With these supplies, our students' daily classroom experience will greatly improve! Unfortunately due to the area, many of our students' families want to help with supplies but simply can't. This Donors Choose project will go a long way in helping fill that gap and provide materials. Giving my students access to basic healthy supplies and classroom organization will help their daily experience at school. Thank you!!
