Help me give my students classroom basics such as pencils, glue sticks, staplers, and colored pencils to last through at least the end of the school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Maassen's classroom raised $282

My Project

I am requesting supplies for my classroom. Please help us add some basic classroom supplies to our room to enhance learning and engagement as we learn about civics and government! The supplies include pencils, glue sticks, scissors, civics posters, and other resources. The classroom supplies will be kept in the classroom and will be used during classroom instruction.

The classroom will be a more welcoming and hands-on environment with a plentiful amount of readily-available supplies.

By having basic classroom supplies, students will have enough material to have engaging lessons. Basic supplies are important for the day to day function of the classroom. Thanks in advance for your support!

Ms. Maassen Chicago High School for the Arts Grades 9-12
