A Fresh New School Year!

Help me give my students flexible seating, a wall clock, and school supplies for a new year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. M's classroom raised $303

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

After good use, some of our flexible seating needs to be replaced! The students use flexible seating to enjoy books during ELA. My students also need a restock of many classroom supplies that we use on a daily basis for project-based learning, along with restocking incentives for students to earn. My fifth-grade students are responsible and respectful with school supplies. However, they do need to be restocked and replaced each year. This year, teachers were not allowed a classroom budget for student needs and supplies. I appreciate your generosity in helping create a learning environment for my students for a fresh, new school year!
