Ms. Rothwell's classroom raised $900

Essential Tools for Little Learners to Shine

Help me give my students classroom essential supplies to create an organized, engaging learning environment where students can grow, explore, and succeed through hands-on activities, meaningful lessons, and daily learning opportunities.

Ms. Rothwell Jesse Wharton Elementary School

Greensboro, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

My first-grade students deserve a classroom filled with essential tools and resources that support learning, creativity, and academic success. This project will provide important classroom supplies that help create an organized, welcoming, and engaging learning environment where every child feels prepared and valued.

These resources will allow students to participate in hands-on activities, practice important skills, explore new ideas, and build confidence as learners.

Having access to the right materials helps make lessons more meaningful and encourages students to stay engaged and excited about learning. We are asking for write and wipe boards, disinfecting wipes and a paper storage center.

Your generosity will help provide a strong foundation for young learners and ensure every student has the opportunity to grow, succeed, and thrive throughout the school year.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
