My Project

Another school year is upon us and my students and I are in need of some supplies.

This project is filled with must-have tools for the start of a new school year!

In this project we are requesting an organization cart to keep our arts and crafts supplies such as our scissors and glue organized. We are also requested some tissues for allergy and flu season to keep students healthy, and a teacher's chair.

Going back to school is many kids' dream but being a public school Spanish teacher leaves me not having the funds to provide my students with all the essentials we need.
