My Project

Help me give the special education students supplies to help them start off the year on the right foot. We are looking for mini notebooks, folders and pens to replenish our supplies and allow the students a place to write down their notes while on the carpet or in small group.

Having a notebooks, folders, and pens are essential to classroom learning.

Students need the basic resources in the classroom to be successful. Please help our students get what they need to do their work and organize their papers in folders.
