Empowering Young Minds: Essential Supplies for 5th Grade Success

Help me give my students essential classroom materials they need to stay engaged, organized, and excited about learning every day!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Corica's classroom raised $642

My Project

As a dedicated 5th grade teacher at a middle school in NJ, I strive to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment for my students. However, limited resources make it challenging to provide them with the materials they need to succeed. Many of my students come from diverse backgrounds and benefit greatly from hands-on learning tools, basic classroom supplies, and rewards for good behavior. We are requesting everyday basics like pencil sharpeners and pencils as well as snacks, candy, and small prizes to reward students with. Your generous donation will help ensure that every child has access to the resources necessary to grow academically and build confidence in their abilities. Thank you for supporting our future leaders!
