Basic Classroom Supplies for a New School Year

Help me give my students cardstock and felt tip markers to create hands on math and literacy activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murray's classroom raised $166

My Project

Our classroom thrives on creativity and hands-on learning, and cardstock along with felt tip markers are essential tools that bring our projects to life. Whether we’re designing interactive notebooks, crafting visual storytelling pieces, or creating colorful posters to demonstrate understanding, these materials help students take ownership of their learning. Cardstock provides a sturdy, durable canvas for work that needs to last, and the bold, vibrant colors of felt tip markers allow students to express their ideas with confidence and clarity.

Unfortunately, these supplies get used up quickly, and replacing them regularly can be a challenge.

With your support, we’ll be able to restock our art and project supplies so students can continue to explore, create, and share their learning in meaningful ways. Your donation will directly impact student engagement, helping transform everyday lessons into memorable, hands-on experiences. Thank you for helping us build a colorful and creative learning environment!
