My Project

Help give my classes the basic materials that we need to function smoothly!

Having all of the material things we need readily available in class simply helps to maximize learning time.

And we need all the learning time we can get!

Pencils, tissues, and rulers that won’t break are all regularly needed in my class. And if I have all these things, I won’t have to worry about sending kids to lockers to get supplies they forgot, or to the bathroom to get tissue, etc. Anytime they are out of class during class time, they are missing out on valuable learning opportunities. Your donation to this project will help keep kids in class and minimize distractions to our learning!
