Back to School Necessities

My students need basic back to school items such as markers, pens, and pencils.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lantinga's classroom raised $200

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach sixth, seventh and eighth grade inner city, middle school students. Our school provides free breakfast and lunch to 100% of the students, but basic school supplies. are not so easy to come by.

I am very fortunate to teach a group of gifted and talented students in our district.

However, they still struggle with the basics like having a pencil. Just like any student, my students are motivated by numerous things, including the support of others.

My Project

I would appreciate if you would you please help to provide my students with the basics like pens, pencils, and markers during the back to school season. Over the years, I have noticed that my students love to write with colorful gel pens and markers, but they certainly will not turn down a basic pencil either. Please help them get off on the right foot this school year.

The rising cost of materials and the shortage of school funds makes it very difficult to provide students with what they need in order to be successful.

Please be a help and let's help over 120 students get off to a great school year by giving them the basic school supplies they need!
