All Star Classroom Basics

Help me give my students basic school supplies like pencils, pens, and notebooks for the upcoming year. Extreme budget cuts mean less money for classroom supplies in August. My fifth grade students deserve a stocked classroom.

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

My fifth-grade students deserve to have a stocked classroom. Extreme budget cuts in the fall will result in much less money for classroom supplies. I want my new students to walk into the classroom with joy when they see their new notebooks, pencils, pens, and books waiting for them. Not all our families can afford to contribute to classroom supplies, and I want to make sure all my students have what they need to be ready for learning. Help my 5th-grade All-Star students start the new school year with the basics they need for a successful year.
