Basic Supplies for High School English Students

Help me give my students basic supplies such as pens, notebooks and tennis balls for our very loud and disruptive desks and chairs.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hickey's classroom raised $485

My Project

My under-resourced students would greatly benefit from the freedom of not having to worry about purchasing pens and notebooks. We use them almost every day. Taking notes in a notebook is highly beneficial for students learning in English class because it improves retention and comprehension, enhances organization and provides a personal study tool.

In addition, using tennis balls under student desks provides several benefits.

It reduces noise, enhances concentration and supports students with sensory sensitivities.

Our district is unable to provide these valuable tools. Will you help the students in my classroom?
