Wish List for 3rd grade
Thank you in advance. I am so grateful for any gift for my students. Some of these items will last for many years and be used by hundreds of children, as I work very closely with my 3rd grade team and love to share with other teachers both at my school and in the district. You may send any donations directly to J. Serra School or contact me directly.
