Back with the Basics

Help me give my students the supplies that they need to start off the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Clarke Toussaint's classroom raised $645

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

Many of my students come from low-income families, and the lack of essential school supplies often hinders their academic progress. I firmly believe that every child deserves access to the necessary tools and materials to excel in their studies.

The materials requested will aid in note-taking and writing assignments and pencil pouches are to help carry their supplies safely.

In providing these materials, I hope to assist in providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for my my students, helping them reach their full potential and ensuring they receive a quality education.
