Help Mrs. Daniel

I teach a fifth grade all girls' class. Our school is located in a high-need area. A lot of our parents lost jobs during the recession.

Our students are coming to school this year with only a backpack. They will need all of their school supplies donated.

I need everything that could be thought of as far as school supplies. I will need pencils, paper, crayons, highlighters, color pencils, folders, and binders. Children have a hard enough time without having to worry about if they will have paper.

Your help will make it possible for my students to show up at school without worrying about their school supplies. Instead they will focus on getting ready for the next phase in their educational life.
