A Fresh Start for Ms. Riley's Classroom

Help me give my students disinfectant supplies, air freshener, pencils, highlighters, classroom borders, a laminator, and laminating sheets to create a clean, welcoming classroom while preserving reusable learning materials that support student success year-round.

My Project

My students in Durham, North Carolina are bright, creative, and full of potential. As a Title I school, our students come from diverse backgrounds and bring their own unique strengths, experiences, and personalities into the classroom each day. What makes my students special is their curiosity, determination, kindness, and excitement to learn. They continue to show resilience and a desire to grow, and I want to provide them with a classroom environment where they feel supported and valued.

My goal is to create a clean, organized, and welcoming classroom where every student has the opportunity to succeed.

The items in my cart will help me provide a healthy learning space while supporting engaging lessons and reusable classroom resources. Disinfectant wipes, spray, and air freshener will help maintain a clean environment, while pencils, highlighters, classroom borders, a laminator, and laminating sheets will support daily activities and allow me to create materials that students can use throughout the year.

With these resources, I hope to create a classroom where my students feel confident, comfortable, and excited to learn. Your support will help provide the tools they need to continue growing academically and build a strong foundation for success.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
