Aloha from North Carolina!

Help me give my students a fun and engaging new classroom theme! We are going for a hawaiian/aloha/beach theme to excite my students for an upcoming great year! We also have no supplies at all!

My Project

We are in a Title I school with very little money for supplies and decorations.

Funding this project allows my students to have a fun, exciting, hawaii/aloha beach themed classroom that will keep them engaged and excited for learning everyday.

We are asking for supplies because my classroom is completely empty without pencil sharpeners, whiteboards, markers etc. We are extremely grateful for your consideration in funding this project! Not only will it allow my students to explore the culture of the islands of Hawaii but also get to experience learning in another way!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.

More than half of students from low‑income households
