My Project

Basic supplies are needed to run a classroom in day-to-day activities. While some of these materials are easier to acquire than others, the costs do add up.

This project contains a wide variety of supplies for the classroom, including white board pouches, classroom mailbox, seat sacks, organization shelfs, and basic classroom needs.

These supplies will benefit multiple semesters of students and allow them to equitable access the stores necessary for them to complete their work.

I appreciate your consideration; any support is greatly appreciated! We are beyond grateful ! Thank you !
