Boxes Bright, Supplies Right, Ready to Learn and Write!

Help me give my students pencil boxes, pencils, erasable pens, sticky notes, and highlighters so they can kick off the year organized, confident, and ready to shine!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ball's classroom raised $381

This project is fully funded

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

Help give my students pencil boxes, pencils, erasable pens, lined sticky notes, and highlighters so they can stay organized and ready to learn every day!

In our 4th-grade classroom, we write, take notes, and highlight important ideas daily.

With these supplies, each student will have:

A pencil box to keep their materials organized.

Pencils and erasable pens for confident writing.

Lined sticky notes for note-taking and reading reflections.

Highlighters to mark key information during lessons.

Having personal supplies helps students build responsibility, feel prepared, and fully engage in reading, writing, and STEM activities. Your support will ensure every student has what they need to start the year strong and develop lifelong learning habits.

Thank you for helping us keep our boxes bright, our supplies right, and our students ready to learn and write!
