Classroom Musts

Help me give my students the basic supplies that they need to be successful everyday at school. I serve in a area that is underfunded and I just gathered the basics.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Kay's classroom raised $294

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love that my students are determined to continue in school even when faced with such challenges.

Specifically not being able to afford school supplies so the pencils, markers, colored pencils and things will allow them to have the correct supplies for everyday use.

My goals are to prepare them to face challenges inside and outside of the classroom by using life leader attributes everyday through my lessons.

My students are all special and unique in their own way and I am glad I get to be their teacher. They all come from unique backgrounds within the Dallas area and I am glad that I get to be a small part of their educational experience.
