Equipped to Succeed: Everyday Supplies for Everyday Learning

Help me give my students basic classroom supplies—colored pencils, markers, pencils, highlighters, Kleenex, paper towels, tape, a stapler, a turn-in organizer, chart paper, and Clorox wipes—so they can stay focused, creative, and ready to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Henderson's classroom raised $484

My Project

In a high school classroom, learning happens fast—and having the right materials makes all the difference. My students are hardworking and motivated, but they often come to class without the basic supplies they need to fully participate. This project will help provide the everyday tools that support both creativity and classroom functionality.

Here’s how students will use each item:

Colored pencils and markers will bring life to timelines, maps, and projects, helping students show what they’ve learned in engaging, creative ways.

Pencils and highlighters will be used daily for note-taking, test prep, and annotating texts—giving students the tools to stay organized and focused.

Tape dispenser and a stapler will help with class assignments, anchor charts, and group work displays—keeping their hard work intact and visible.

Anchor chart paper will be used to create visual aids during lessons, group brainstorming, and student-led presentations. These large-format posters help reinforce learning and give students a voice in the classroom by showcasing their thinking and contributions.

A “turn-in” organizer will give students a consistent and easy place to submit their work, supporting accountability and structure.

Kleenex, paper towels, and Clorox wipes will help keep our classroom clean, safe, and comfortable so students can stay healthy and focused.

These are simple supplies—but they make a huge impact on the daily learning experience. With your support, my students will have what they need at their fingertips, without having to worry about whether they brought it from home.
