My Project

Students will be coming to school ready to discover and learn! However, learning without paper makes this task difficult. We need to stock our supply closet so that we can start the school year strong with all the needed and essential supplies! This paper will help us learn by writing, drawing, writing to pen pals, creating personalized writing books, completing homework, printing readable materials, creating class foldable books , and much more!

Can you imagine a classroom without paper to draw, paper to read or write from, or paper to color or cut on?

This is the supply that we are in need of. My students are creative hands on learners who currently lack essential resources needed to support them in their academic journey. Please help provide my students with the basic supplies needed to be successful learners.
