Back to School Basics

Help me give my students back to school supplies they need to begin learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Koch's classroom raised $218

This project is fully funded

My Project

Please help give my students some basic back to school items for the students and the classroom. Students always need pencils. These pencils have inspirational reading quotes and fun neon colors to spark back to school learning. Colorful paper allows students to receive special notes home and welcome newsletters. The classroom decor items invite students to start a new journey through conversation and use Famous African American's stories to help grow their Mindset for learning. My students often come to school with no supplies, these will help us get started!
