Be a Classroom Hero: Provide Essential Supplies

Help me give my students the supplies for next year. Desperately need a replacement printer as mine was broken when my classroom was being used over the weekend by someone else. Would appreciate any help!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Welcome to the magical world of my classroom, where supplies vanish into thin air! As a dedicated teacher, I've spent my own hard-earned money to stock up on essentials like pencils, tissues, and hand sanitizer. But no matter how many bulk packs of pencils and tissues I buy, they seem to disappear within a week. Seriously, where do they all go?

Tissues are a must-have, especially during cold, flu, and allergy season.

And let's not forget the hand sanitizer – because, well, kids. Highlighters? I bought a bunch just two months ago, and now they're playing hide-and-seek. Spoiler alert: the highlighters are winning.

A printer and paper would be a game-changer. My school limits copies per month and has just one copy room for the entire building. Plus, my personal classroom printer met an untimely demise when someone else used it over the weekend. (RIP, trusty printer.) Unfortunately, the school can't reimburse me for it.

Your support would not only save me time and money but also ensure my students have the materials they need to succeed. So, if you want to be a hero and help stop the Great Classroom Supply Disappearing Act, please consider donating. Thank you!

Ms. Salem C.D. Hylton High School Grades 9-12
