From Day One: Inspiring Learning and Growth

Help me give my students an amazing start for upcoming 2026-2027 school year.

Ms. Blakley East Iredell Elementary School
Statesville, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

My students are energetic, curious, and full of potential. As we prepare for the upcoming school year, I am excited to welcome a new group of learners who are eager to grow, explore, and succeed. I love how my students build connections, support one another, and bring joy and creativity into the classroom each day. Creating a space where they feel safe, valued, and excited to learn from day one is my top priority.

The resources in this project will help me set the tone for a successful school year.

Lamps will provide soft, calming lighting to create a warm and inviting classroom environment that helps students feel comfortable and focused. Snacks will ensure that my students stay energized and ready to learn, especially for those who may come to school hungry.

Cleaning supplies will help maintain a healthy and safe classroom, allowing students to learn in a clean and organized space while also building responsibility. Backdrops for monthly celebrations will allow us to recognize student achievements, build a strong classroom community, and make learning fun throughout the year.

With these resources, I will be able to start the school year strong by creating a classroom that supports both academic success and the social-emotional well-being of every student.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
