Back to Basics

Help me give my students access to basic school supplies critical for learning. Some families cannot afford school supplies for six different class periods, especially with rising inflation.

My Project

Our classroom is a space where students can explore what it means to be human in every sense of the word- a place to think deeply, make mistakes, engage in critical discussions, write passionately, and connect with books that matter.

Students deserve an environment like this as they evolve from children to young adults.

To make the space functional, we need access to basic supplies such as notebooks, pencils, and markers.

Your generous donations allow me to use exceptional materials to prepare a responsive, productive space for this year's students. Because of you, nearly 100 students will start next semester strong.

Ms. Gabor
Grades 6-8
