5th Grade Materials and Supplies

Help me give my students the materials and supplies necessary to be able to fully engage in multi-sensory and creative learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pierce's classroom raised $924

My Project

Our classroom is in need to some new supplies and materials for the upcoming 24/25 school year. Our children learn best when given the opportunity to learn through the creative process as well as through different projects and academic activities. In order to be able to complete some of the project based learning that we have planned for this year my classroom is in need of some supplies and materials that we are currently lacking.

Help me give my students school supplies such as colored pencils, markers, construction paper, pencils, and more so that they will be able to fully engage in our learning projects this year.

Due to budget cuts this school year we have much fewer resources to acquire the necessary materials to enrich our learning which is why we are humbly asking for your support. Your donation will allow my students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally as well as leaders in both our school and community. We will use supplies such as colored pencils, scissors, markers, construction paper, and much more to complete our learning projects this school year.

Equal opportunity and access to academic resources are essential to ensure the opportunity for all students to grow regardless of economic status or geographical location. Any and all help is greatly appreciated and will be used every single day to further the minds of the young people I am honored to teach.
