My Project

Please help myself and my co-teacher provide my students with essential supplies to begin the school year. Every year we go through pencils, staplers and sharpeners very quickly. The same goes for dry erase markers, copy paper, construction paper, tissues, paper towels and disinfectant wipes.

With your help, my co-teacher and myself can focus on buying other classroom supplies that are needed.

You will help us and our students achieve success for the upcoming school year that is rapidly approaching. This will also help parents out with lessening the supplies that they need to buy.
