Engaging Learning and Cleaning Space

Help me give my students supplies for a safe, engaging, and practical classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tellis's classroom raised $165

My Project

In my self-contained autistic support high school classroom, creating a structured, engaging, and clean environment is essential for my students’ success. Each student has unique learning needs, and providing them with the right tools helps build their social, academic, and life skills.

I am requesting essential supplies such as more cleaning materials to enhance our daily activities and maintain a safe, organized space.

Maintaining a clean and hygienic classroom is equally important for the well-being of my students. Many of them have sensory sensitivities, and a tidy space helps reduce anxiety and distractions. With additional cleaning supplies, I can ensure that desks, materials, and common areas remain sanitized and comfortable for learning. These resources will support my students’ ability to focus, interact, and grow in a space that meets their needs. Your support will make a meaningful difference in their daily school experience!
