Back to Basics

Help me give my students basic school supplies to help them succeed in class.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Hurt's classroom raised $859

This project is fully funded

My Project

Most of my students are dealing with barriers that can make having the basic supplies for school difficult and even stressful. The goal is for students to come to school without having to worry about if they will have school supplies to do the work and actively participate. This project will provide students with basic supplies in addition to having materials they will need in class to fully participate and do the work needed to pass the class.

Additionally, materials in the project will provide the classroom with community items that students can use in doing the work for the class.

Lastly, we've learned over the last few years the various disparities in resources at home. This project also provides students with materials to keep their areas clean and feel comfortable being in school.
