Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students headphones, materials and supplies for the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Giantonio's classroom raised $1,617

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The headphones and materials I selected will be used daily by students. Many of my students do not have the money to buy their own basic school supplies. These markers, pens, pencils, and other supplies will allow them to complete their work, engage in projects, and participate successfully with testing.

New school supplies make learning fun and students feel appreciated and welcome as they start the new school year.

The goal is to give every student a "starter pack" on the first day of school to set them up for a successful 4th grade school year. Thanks so much!
