Classroom Essentials 2022

Help me give my students essential items to kick off their return to school in the new year.

Ms. Sims Sanders - Clyde Elementary School

Charleston, SC Grades 3-5

My Students

Our school is located in the heart of downtown, and 100% of our students come from high poverty, single parent homes. Our students have high needs, but also have high hopes to match! Some of their needs include clean uniforms, food, and suitable shelter, yet they always show up with enthusiastic attitudes and an excitement to learn.

My Project

In our classroom, we found that our students work best when they have a snack break in between their learning. Since they have a late lunch, we also found that it allows them to focus better when they aren't worried about how hungry they are. Durable water bottles are also included so that our students can fill them at the beginning of the learning period, and have them readily available to quench their thirst when needed. Lastly, there is some storage included for the teachers to make the classroom more functional and organized, as well as a gift card to buy any additional items that the students may need throughout the year.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
