My Project

I am a teacher at a Title 1 school. Our school serves a low-income community with some of the brightest students! I want to give my students every resource I can to keep them engaged in our classroom, and having these basic items is essential to a functional classroom.

A classroom is always hard to manage if we don't have the basic necessities.

We use these supplies every day, multiple times a day. A lot of my students come from families that can't provide the basic materials needed in the classroom; therefore I'm asking for your help!

These supplies will help us continue to learn and grow throughout the school year. Supplies such as pencils, glue sticks, colored pencils, and erasers are essential in our classroom. We use pencils and glue daily for classwork assignments. We also need Kleenex and ink for our printer. Please consider donating to this project so my students will have the materials needed to be successful in class.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
