Equipped and Excited for a New School Year!

Help me give my students Items for a Strong Start to the School Year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bailey's classroom raised $956

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

My students are full of energy, creativity, and curiosity. They come to school excited to learn, explore, and express themselves in so many ways. Each child brings something special to our classroom, and I love how eager they are to work together, help each other, and grow as learners.

How Your Support Will Help

To give them the best start to the school year, I’m asking for support to provide materials that will help us stay organized, encourage hands-on learning, and create a welcoming space.

Storage bins will help keep our supplies neat and accessible so students can learn independence and responsibility.

Teacher scissors and glue/glitter glue will be used for fun art projects that support fine motor development and creativity.

Books will enrich our classroom library and spark a love of reading.

Plushie toys will provide comfort and help with emotional regulation during quiet moments.

Playdough will support sensory play and build hand strength for writing.

Colorful classroom decorations will create a cheerful, inviting environment that makes students feel excited to learn each day.

Community helper vests for the housekeeping center will support dramatic play and help children explore real-world roles and teamwork.

Every resource will help build a nurturing, engaging, and structured learning space where my students can thrive. Thank you for believing in them and helping us start the year strong!
