My Project

As an ELA teacher, I’m committed to creating a rich, engaging learning environment where students can develop a lifelong love for reading and writing. However, many of my students lack access to supplies and essential classroom supplies.

Donations will help me stock my classroom with the needed basic supplies, provide writing materials, and create a space that inspires creativity and critical thinking.

Items such as toner to print color resource pages, easel pads to teach how to take notes, classroom decor, a bag to store grammar notebooks in- all help create a classroom where every student feels welcome and excited to come to class.

With your support, I can ensure every student has the tools they need to grow academically and feel seen, valued, and empowered through literacy. Please help our room!
