My Project

Every year I request donations for my class in order to begin a successful school year. This year, I am teaching a 4/5th grade self-contained class. These resources will help my students start the year organized, especially with the color coordinated notebooks and folders, and sharpened pencils. It will also help take the burden off of families that might need help purchasing school supplies on their own. Please consider donating to my wonderful, new group of students. Together we can help make this an amazing and successful school year. Thank you so much!
