Basic Supplies to Fulfill Basic Needs

Help me give my students basic supplies that make a world of difference!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lee's classroom raised $783

My Project

We all think or hope that students can come to school with their basic supplies, but what educators think is essential is not available for some students. Some students don't have parents who can drive them to a store to shop for school supplies. At the high school level, not having a notebook for class can be a reason to "cut" class. In light of all the stress students have, I'm asking for supplies so that we can make class inclusive and welcoming to all students. They should be organized. They should have a pen. They should have notebooks. But if they don't, they need access.
