Ms. Cross Second Year- Soaring into Success

The Description

Hello Everyone!

In two weeks, I will begin my second year as a first grade teacher in Yazoo City, MS.  I have learned so much throughout my first year experience. One of the things I have really learned to value and appreciate is the strength in community. 

One huge hurdle that students in the Mississippi Delta and other high need regions around the US face is a lack of the necessary materials that they need daily. It is extremely difficult for students to take part in activities and classwork when they do not have basic supplies. 

My goal is to make sure all of my students feel cared for, loved, safe, and supported in my classroom. I will use any funds that I raise to purchase the necessary supplies to ensure my students have a classroom that is stocked full of materials and supplies. So this is how you can become a part of our community of helpers and support (near and far).

Here is a list of some of the materials that your generous investment will help provide for my students:

  • 2 Boxes of Paper (10 Reams) - $50
  • Kleenex (18 Pack) - $36
  • 2 Boxes of Pencils (288 Count) - $32
  • Chart Paper (2 Pack) - $27
  • Sticky notes (18 pack) - $8
  • 2 Packs of Dry Erase Markers (32 Count) - $22
  • Hand Sanitizer (Pack of 2) - $20
  • Crayons (125 bulk supply) -$15
  • Clorox Disinfecting Wipes (3 Pack) - $12
  • Pack of Highlighters (50 Count) - $10
  • Post-it Notes (24 pack) - $9
  • Folders (75) - $40
  • Binders (24) - $50
  • Paper Towels (12 Rolls) - $28
  • 3 Packs of Erasers (36 Count) - $18
  • 3x5 Index Cards (10 Packs) - $12
  • Sharpie Chart Markers (8 Count) - $9
  • Paper Clips (Assorted 450 Count) - $6
  • Variety of leveled readers and books- $100

Total:~$500
