Comfort, Organization, and Care for Every Student

Help me give my students a comfortable, organized classroom with flexible seating, take-home folders, welcome gifts, reusable water bottles, and healthy snacks to keep them focused, hydrated, and ready to learn every day

Ms. Underwood Statesville Road Elementary School

Charlotte, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

Every child deserves a classroom where they feel comfortable, supported, and ready to learn. My goal is to create an environment that meets both the academic and everyday needs of my students so they can focus on learning and reach their full potential.

A storage bench will provide flexible seating for small-group instruction, independent work, and early finishers while also helping keep our classroom organized.

Curtains will reduce the bright sunlight that can make it difficult for students to see the board and concentrate, creating a more comfortable and welcoming learning space.

Take-home folders will help students stay organized by keeping homework, important papers, and family communication in one place. At the beginning of the school year, I want to welcome each student with a reusable water bottle and a small keychain as a reminder that they are an important part of our classroom community. Having access to a personal water bottle throughout the day will encourage healthy hydration and help students stay focused.

One of the greatest needs in my classroom is snacks. Many of my students arrive at school hungry, and because we eat lunch early in the day, they are often hungry again by the afternoon. A simple snack can make a meaningful difference by helping students stay energized, attentive, and ready to participate in learning.

These resources will help create a classroom where students feel cared for, organized, and equipped for success. Your generosity will provide more than supplies—it will give my students comfort, confidence, and the support they need to learn and grow every day. Thank you for helping make our classroom a place where every student can thrive.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
