My Project

As a Special Education Resource Teacher, I work with a diverse group of students who benefit from individualized support, structure, and encouragement. Our classroom is a safe haven where students build academic skills, social-emotional resilience, and confidence. To maintain this nurturing environment, we need basic classroom supplies, snacks, and motivational tools like treasure box toys.

Many of my students face challenges beyond academics, and having access to snacks helps them stay focused and regulated throughout the day.

Additionally, our treasure box is a powerful incentive system that celebrates effort, growth, and positive behavior. Small toys, fidgets, and sensory items make a big difference in helping students feel seen and valued.

What We Need:

Basic classroom supplies (pencils, crayons, glue sticks, dry erase markers, folders)

Healthy snacks (crackers, granola bars, fruit snacks)

Treasure box items (small toys, stickers, fidget tools, sensory items)

Organizational bins and containers to keep materials accessible and tidy

Why It Matters:

These resources will help create a structured, engaging, and supportive learning environment for students with diverse needs. Every donation brings us closer to a classroom where students feel empowered, motivated, and ready to learn.

Thank you for supporting our exceptional learners!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
