Don't Share Supplies, Don't Share Germs

Help me give my students individual school supplies such as earbuds, markers, glue sticks, and more, so they won't share germs with one another during this pandemic.

My Students

William Butler Yates once said, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." Each day my students come to school from a variety of difficult home lives to have this educational fire lit inside of them. My students attend a Title I school in South Carolina that enrolls students with a wide range of ability levels, different socioeconomic backgrounds, and many even have difficult home lives.

For the most part, the world of my students is a simple one that lacks resources and opportunities for learning.

Even something as simple as having reliable resources can make a difference in their lives. I believe in providing my students with the highest quality education I can offer them and hope that my efforts will truly benefit these students.

My school is an Arts in Basic Curriculum school, which means we focus on the integration of Music, Visual, and Performing Arts with our everyday lessons. For students who do not come from much, this integration is a way to provide them experiences and opportunities in which many of them may never get otherwise.

My Project

As we start planning for our next school year, there are still many unknowns as to how school is going to look. One thing we do know is that students will not be able to share supplies.

I would love some help in providing my students with basic school supplies that they can call their own and not share.

Keeping everyone safe and healthy will always be a priority and the first step would be to have our own things.

Resources as simple as pencils and Expo markers would be very much appreciated and helpful as start a new school year this fall.
