Help me give my students the supplies (pencils, tape, markers, paper) they need to start the year off with what they need!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Castillo's classroom raised $446

My Project

Many of my students come to class missing the necessary supplies. When students come to class without pencils or paper, they are unable to do their best work. Having basic supplies will help my students have the confidence to do their best work during Algebra class. I want to be able to provide an environment where students have all that they need and don't feel embarrassed that they don't have markers, colored pencils, erasers, or scissors when we do projects in class.

My students are hard workers and the lack of supplies shouldn't get in their way to do good work.

Having these supplies will give my students everything they may need on a daily basis.

A well-stocked supply closet will mean my students will have fewer roadblocks on their path to success.
