My Project

These materials will help my students complete tasks and learn at school. I teach at a Title I school, and most of our families are considered low-income. These supplies will take the burden of purchasing new supplies off the families and make it so all students have exactly the same supplies to use each day. I never want a student to worry if they don't have what they need to learn.

Help fuel our brains and bodies by providing materials to keep us active and warm in the cold Michigan winters.

The supplies that are being requested include gloves, markers, laminate, headphones, rewards, labels for their personal items, paper, books, and sensory learning materials. These are items that are heavily used daily. All of these items will be used during interactive lessons. I want to ensure they have everything they need to succeed at school and not worry about how they will get it and be able to be warm when we do go out everyday.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.

More than half of students from low‑income households
