Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students a clean, safe and healthy classroom and school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pierce's classroom raised $1,347

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are requesting help purchasing some basic cleaning and hygiene supplies that we are currently lacking for this school year. Due to budget cuts within our district we are not supplied with things such as tissues, hand sanitizer, lysol wipes, brooms and other supplies that are essential in keeping our classroom clean and our students healthy. We are also asking for some snacks as we eat a very early lunch this year and my students are very hungry by the end of the day which impacts their focus and ability to learn. Having a snack available for the afternoon time will ensure that high quality learning is able to take place the entirety of the school day.

Having a clean, safe and healthy classroom is essential for our students to have an amazing school year full of growth, learning and joy.

Your help will allow our students basic needs to be met so that they can truly push themselves and learn to the best of their ability. We truly appreciate your support and cannot wait to have an amazing school year!
