Bright Minds & Cozy Spaces: Classroom Essentials for Success

My Project

Help bring comfort, organization, and inspiration to our classroom! As we head into a new school year, we're in need of some essential supplies that will make a big difference in our students’ daily learning experience.

With your support, we'll stock up on basics like pencils, folders, binders, and book pouches to help students stay organized and take ownership of their materials.

We'll also need sanitizing wipes and tissues to keep our learning environment clean and healthy.

To make our classroom feel more inviting, I'm hoping to add a floor lamp for soft lighting and cozy floor seating that gives students flexible options to read, collaborate, or work independently.

These supplies may seem simple, but they help create a calm, functional space where students can feel safe, supported, and ready to learn each day.

Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom—you’re helping us shine a little brighter!
