Back to School Essentials

Help me give my students a back to school supply pouch with necessary items for learning and a sweet treat!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Adams's classroom raised $245

This project is fully funded

My Students

On March 13th, our school had to close its doors to students. Students who are in need of school for structure, stability and safety. COVID may have disrupted how we learn, but when my students are faced with a challenge, they rise up. My students spent weeks learning from home. They learned how to use new computer programs and how to video chat. In my classroom, I serve students that have a learning disabilities.

Distance learning has shown how strong, brave and dedicated my students are.

Nothing can hold them back. They need additional resources at home to help them continue to learn and grow.

My Project

The beginning of the school year is right around the corner! My students are going to be back to school in just a few short weeks!

Whether we are in person or working remotely, my students are going to need supplies to help them learn.

In the coming school year, my students are going to need their own materials. I would like to provide my student with pencils, crayons, pencil sharpeners, a notebook and a cloth pencil pouch to place these items in. I would also like to put a piece of candy in each bag to start the school with a sweet treat!
