Help me give my students supplies for a great 2025/2026 school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gerber's classroom raised $487

My Project

My students come from a Title I school. While we are given supplies to help us teach the curriculums, we are often not given supplies to build a positive classroom community, or supplies that are reward based. I love to use Fun Friday as a personal classroom reward. In order to do this, I am asking for board games that the students can play during this time. I also love to have the students pick from my prize box for good behavior. Stickers, squishys etc. are all things my students love to pick from! We are in need of pencils, scissors and headphones as these are all essential supplies to my students learning.

I am also asking for donations of spray cleaners, because we often run out of donations of Lysol wipes, and I like to keep the students desks free from germs at the end of the day!
