Help me give my students school supply basics such as pencils, notebooks, and scissors; storage solutions such as turn-in trays, supply organizers, and a bookshelf; and sanitary products such as wipes and tissues.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Parsons's classroom raised $853
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
My Students:
I teach English at a high-need public high school in North Carolina, where many of my students face challenges outside the classroom that most adults would struggle to manage.
Yet every day, they show up – full of curiosity, creativity, and heart. They’re writers, readers, deep thinkers, and dreamers. They deserve a classroom that’s stocked with the tools they need to thrive.
My Project:
As I build my classroom from scratch, I’m requesting basic supplies like pens, highlighters, sticky notes, notebooks, and folders. These aren’t flashy items – but they are absolutely essential for daily learning. These supplies will support annotation, journaling, creative projects, literature circles, and everyday organization. I'm also asking for storage solutions. With 30 students in a small classroom, items like bookshelves and storage caddies are essential to functional space.
With your help, we’ll be able to start the year off strong. I want my students to walk into our classroom and immediately feel like it’s a place built for their growth and success – not one where they have to worry about how they’ll get the materials they need.
The Impact:
Your donation helps create equity in a public school classroom where resources are limited – but the potential is limitless. Every pen, notebook, and sticky note you fund will help a student write their story, think deeply, and feel seen.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
