Classroom Basics

Help me give my students the basic supplies to help my students have a successful school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Trongone's classroom raised $186

My Project

I work in a low-income district where our budget has been completely cut. Many families are struggling financially, and it is hard to give their children basic school materials.

Simple needs such as pencil sharpener, pencil pouches, pens, screen protector and more will help my special education students really succeed in my classroom.

Unfortunately, many students’ families cannot afford to buy supplies for their children.

My special education students learn best when they have hands-on activities. Having these school supplies will allow them to be successful and learn in the best way for them. Having these supplies will make all the difference in the world.
