My Project

Basic classroom materials such as the requested notebooks, lined paper, journals, pencils, markers, and more are all basic supplies we use daily. We also need a storage organizer to keep our supplies easily accessible to students. Unfortunately, many students’ families cannot afford to continually buy supplies for their children. We need these basic supplies in our classroom. We need these materials to help us learn! We often run out of basic materials in the middle of the year because of all the learning and projects we do.

My students are such hard workers and deserve the same basic classroom supplies that more privileged schools can easily give.

Please help our students continue to learn by donating basic school supplies to our classroom!
