Basic Needs

Help me give my students supplies like hoodies, paper rolls, pencils, and pocket folders, and snacks to make their transition to America easier.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rabinowitz's classroom raised $960

This project is fully funded

My Project

Often our students come to class starving and unable to concentrate and these small food items help tremendously. Also, T-shirts and sweatshirts can be used to offer comfortable and clean clothing that can be worn in school.

We will create small hygiene kits for the children to use with deodorant and sanity pads as needed.

Other items such as: folders, sharpeners, pens, and pencil cases will be given to the students so they can work independently.

In addition, I have requested a few art items to help them collaborate and create signs and art projects of their own reflecting their cultures.

It is challenging enough starting a new school in a new country but without having the essential items they need it is that much more difficult.

Please allow my newcomer students to feel welcomed and cared for.
