Back-to-School Supplies for the Beginning of the Year

Help me give my students a great start to our new school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fonseca-Cowles's classroom raised $449

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

There is nothing like starting the new school year right. I am filled with excitement and hope as I prepare to welcome a new group of students into our classroom. The supplies I'm requesting will help us start our year off right. Glue sticks for new art projects. Brand new bulletin boards to hang all their projects. Clorox wipes to clean our classroom. Laminating pouches will save time and resources year after year. Materials will stay in perfect condition for future students.

Supplies like these are used all year long, but especially at the beginning of the year.
