Empowering Learning Through Essential Supplies

Help me give my students some basic materials to restock our empty shelves.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nealon's classroom raised $1,036

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our classroom is a hub of creativity and exploration, but our supplies are dwindling. With your support, we can restock essential materials like cardstock, Cricut blades and mats, glues, scissors, and more, to empower our students' learning. These items will enhance hands-on activities, promote STEM education with a botany book and 3D printer filament, and improve organization and presentation skills.

Our goals for this project are simple yet impactful: to provide equitable learning opportunities and foster a culture of creativity and innovation.

Every student deserves access to the resources they need to succeed, regardless of economic barriers. Our students are special because of their resilience, curiosity, and boundless potential. They approach each day with enthusiasm, eager to explore their interests and make a difference in the world. Your generosity will help us continue nurturing their talents and shaping the future leaders of tomorrow.
