My Students

Hello! Our students are bright, kind, energetic, active Kindergarten students.

Our school is a Title I school and many of our students need your help to continue and enhance their love of learning.

Help give them a love of learning!

My Project

I am requesting a laminator and laminating pouches, folders, markers and other supplies to help them thrive! Help give our students some necessary school supplies to help them thrive. They need color coded folders for each subject to help them keep their work organized. This will also help them find their supplies a lot easier - just by looking for a color!

We need some basic school supplies to help our little learners continue to grow and learn.

Cleaning supplies are a must! Help keep us safe and healthy. The bags will help them keep all of their supplies organized since they can't share supplies with one another.

Thank you
