My Project

My students deserve every opportunity to thrive, and with your support, we can create an even more dynamic and engaging learning environment. We are seeking essential classroom supplies that will directly impact daily instruction and student success.

Imagine students confidently tackling math problems on reusable dry-erase pouches, saving countless sheets of paper while building crucial fluency.

Picture our classroom transformed into an organized hub where every resource is easily accessible, fostering independence and reducing wasted time. Your contribution, no matter the size, will provide the fundamental tools necessary for hands-on learning, creative exploration, and a truly equitable educational experience for all.

Ms. DeFilippi PS 31 William T Davis Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
