Brighten Minds, Empower Underprivileged Third Graders

Help me give my students educational games, a personal cubby and school basics.

My Project

Mrs. Allison's third-grade classroom is unique, in that it is completely funded by herself and donors. With a class diverse and rich in cultures, socioeconomic statuses, interests, and dreams, it is important donors continue to help children with little means.

Though our school may be diverse, students who attend here do not have the same opportunity as others.

Seventy-five percent of these students are from low-income households. Please help fund a cubby for my third graders, educational games, and teaching resources to enhance their learning experience.

With these donations, students will be able to have a well-managed and organized classroom, play games that will make learning fun and use basic classroom essentials that every child deserves.

Mrs. Allison
Grades 3-5
