Dr. Morris Holbrook Middle School

My Project

My students are curious, resilient, and eager to learn. They come to school each day ready to grow as readers and writers, and they thrive when they have engaging, hands-on learning experiences. Many of my students benefit from having organized, interactive materials that allow them to actively participate in lessons, build confidence, and take ownership of their learning. They work hard, encourage one another, and celebrate each success along the way.

This project will provide composition notebooks, pocket folders for reading, interactive notebooks, and essential classroom supplies that students will use every day.

Composition notebooks and interactive notebooks will give students a place to record reading responses, vocabulary, notes, and writing, helping them strengthen comprehension and critical thinking skills. Pocket folders will keep reading materials organized so students can easily access assignments and monitor their progress. These simple yet essential tools will help create an organized learning environment where students can focus on learning rather than searching for materials.

My goal is to equip every student with the resources they need to become confident, independent readers while fostering a classroom culture that celebrates effort, growth, and achievement. Small incentive rewards will be used to recognize students as they reach reading and classroom goals, encouraging perseverance, responsibility, and a love of learning. Your generosity will provide more than just school supplies—it will give my students the tools, motivation, and confidence to reach their full potential and develop lifelong reading habits.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
