Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students basic classroom supplies to help them stay organized, engaged, and confident in their learning every day.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Defeo's classroom raised $898

My Project

In our classroom, every pencil, notebook, marker, and sticky note helps bring learning to life. Many of my students come to school without basic materials, and I want to make sure they never feel limited in what they can achieve due to a lack of resources.

With your support, I can provide essential supplies like paper, writing tools, organizers, and art materials that help keep our classroom running smoothly.

These items will allow students to take ownership of their learning, stay organized, and engage more fully in hands-on activities and creative projects.

Every donation brings us closer to a well-stocked, welcoming learning space where students feel confident and ready to shine. Thank you for believing in their potential—and for helping us build a brighter, more supported classroom!
