My Project

Our school provides many items for our students throughout the day. I am asking for donations of paper plates, spoons and forks so that the students can have access to these things, and we don't have to worry about making a mess for our custodians to clean up.

In addition to that, students who pack their own lunch need access to forks and napkins quite frequently and this supply would give them that access.

The forks and napkins will be crucial for students who are not able to afford these items to bring with them every day to school. I am also asking for some ziplock bags to send home with kids who might need an extra snack or two at home.
