My Project
I have a wonderful group of third graders. They love learning, but what do we do to help them start the year off right? These kids need basic school supplies. I teach at an equity-focused school and these kids do not have the resources to purchase all their basic school supplies.
Please donate to my project so my students come to school with their basic school supplies ready to go on the first day of school.
Students always need sharpies for art or presentation projects, fidget toys to release nervous energy, a football bulletin board to show progress in their learning, and most importantly, a digital clock/timer and class calendar to keep track of time.
When provided with these essentials, students can focus on learning, rather than being stressed out because they need to find these resources.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
