Essential Tools to Start Out the Year of 2023-2024

Help me give my students the essential tools to start out the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Xiong's classroom raised $187

My Project

Every beginning of the school year, not all my learners come with equipped essential tools to use in the classroom. With your help and support, I would be able to provide all learners equitable tools to start out the school. Every child deserves to learn and have essential tools to make them successful.

These tools help my learners to complete their tasks easily and smoothly by not worrying about where to access them.

To begin the school year, providing every child with brand new materials make them shine, happy and optimistic. Learning makes fun and intriguing when everyone is content including my learners and I.
