My Project

Our eager, creative scholars love to show their work in all subject areas. In writing, we publish pieces by adding pictures or covers. In math, we show our critical thinking skills by showing our work with computation. In science and social studies, we create how to books,

Copy paper is an essential supply we constantly use on a daily basis.

Having copy paper helps our students showcase their thinking and learning outcomes to not only themselves but, to aid in classroom discussion. Copy paper is essential to print out the worksheets we purchase from teacher websites, the curriculum supplied by the school, or important announcements that need to go home to parents. Please consider this project for funding. You would genuinely be impacting our classroom.
