Empower 6th STEAM

Help me give my students supplies and set up our classroom to start off the school year on the right foot!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cameron's classroom raised $500

My Project

Many students come through our doors with great potential- but not with the supplies they need. With your support, we can set the stage for a successful, confident year of learning. Notebooks, clipboards, erasers, and markers will do just that.

Hands on science labs, presentations, and teacher monitoring are essential in our classroom space.

By having hands on things such as PLAYDOUGH, presentation area with a rolling adjustable podium cart, and rolling office chair will allow our classroom to run as smoothly as possible this school year.

Thank you for helping us create a classroom where every child has what they need to thrive when stepping into our science room. Our students and teachers extend our greatest thanks!
