Help me give my students a place to come
to, where they feel safe and take care of. where basic supplies are provided and they can have a clean space to learn.
Because I am new to having my own classroom, there is so much I need, just to be organized and do my best for these students. I will be at a city middle school, where I get the opportunity to work with so many disadvantaged students. Having markers for projects, cleaning wipes to wipe down desks and communal serves, etc, will help keep our minds on learning rather than whether or not we have supplies! Also, I think snacks are important for these kids to grab when they come to school hungry. This is just a start, and I am so thankful for any support I receive!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
