My Students

Our 4th grade classes are supportive environments, where we foster inquiry-based learning. We believe that all students should have equal opportunities to explore, build knowledge, and learn. In order to accomplish our goal of high-quality education and equitable access for all, we created this project to ensure every student has the same materials to learn and grow together.

As a learning community, we decided it is important for us to share all the supplies for our grade.

Sharing supplies teaches kids to have a sense of ownership over their community, and understand the power of supporting one another as we learn together.

PLEASE NOTE: This project will provide supplies for ALL PS 261 4th GRADERS, not just Ms. Sproul's students.

My Project

This project was created to give all PS 261 fourth-graders the tools to excel in our learning community. By donating to collectively buy supplies this way, you help us ensure that every child begins the school year ready to learn, without the worry of acquiring personalized school supplies. This project provides convenience to families and students (no more standing in line for supplies!), and ensures that all kids will have exactly what they need throughout the school year.

With this project, ALL 150 4th graders will have school supplies for the entire year: notebooks, folders, paper, pencils, pens, markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, scissors, post-it’s, tissues, wipes, paper towels, soap, and everything else they need to be successful the entire year long.

These supplies are essential to the students' day-to-day learning in all content areas. By gathering our materials collectively, the kids and classrooms are able to receive more materials at a lower cost than purchasing them individually. We teachers strongly believe that this is the most equitable, efficient, and affordable way for 4th graders to acquire school supplies.

This ensures that you will NOT have to buy class supplies in the fall, except perhaps a few special personal items for your child if you wish.
