Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students basic materials to not only support academic success but also help foster responsibility and organization among students.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Summers's classroom raised $343

This project is fully funded

My Project

Please help us transform our classroom into a functional, clean, and inspiring environment. Our project will fund essential items such as a laser pointer for lessons and a pencil sharpener to ensure our tools remain effective. A map of Hawaii will help students connect with their local heritage, while a vacuum cleaner will maintain a dust-free space. Dividers will assist as testing materials and a clock will help manage our time efficiently. A motivational poster will boost student morale daily. These basic necessities are vital for creating a supportive learning space that empowers all students.
