My Project

Hi, I’m looking for someone to donate these items to our classroom! These all are items that we use daily and get lots of use out of!

Our big ask is for the headphones as many of our headphones are broken and no longer work!

We also would love the classroom mailbox so the students have a responsibility of grabbing their mail before they leave! Also, a good way for students to have a job in the classroom! We also added some other materials that would be greatly appreciated in our classroom as they are all things that are needed.

All these items are needed for our classroom. They help us learn and be more engaged in the classroom! They create a positive learning environment!

Thanks so much!!
