My Project

My students are so excited to come to school and learn every day. They love coloring using pencils, markers and crayons! Many if my students do not come with the basic supplies needed such as markers, crayons, paints, pencils or erasers.

Every child deserves quality school supplies such as markers, crayons, pencils and erasers in order to make them more successful at school.

When I am able to supply them with quality supplies they need, that is one less thing they will have to worry about. These school supplies will support the learning that we do in my classroom. Every child will be able to have the same supplies as all children. Having a new pencil sharpener will also help keep those colored pencils and pencils perfectly sharpened.
