My students need back to school supplies such as pencils, markers, glue sticks and folders.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Baptista's classroom raised $467

This project is fully funded

My Students

My classroom is located in a K-8 school in a very low income area of Brockton. My kids usually have a difficult time acquiring even the most basic of educational supplies such as paper and pencils, never mind creative supplies such as markers and colored pencils.

My students are great kids that come to school on a daily basis with what materials can be supplied to them.

Many of these students come from single family homes and spend their nights caring for younger siblings while trying to complete their homework. Donations of materials, books, and resources that are made to my students are put right to good use.

My Project

Any new supplies or materials, such as pencils, crayons, glue sticks and folders, that can be supplied to my classroom and my students are greatly appreciated. My students have a hard time purchasing these items. This project will make a difference to our students because it will provide them with a new resource that they can enjoy and be proud of. Many of the materials and resources we have are used or second hand. New materials give our kids a reason to come to school and have fun while learning.

They are always in need of new educational supplies and truly appreciate anything that we can supply them with.

A major percentage of the students that attend my school are or were English language learners meaning that English is not their primary language.
