My Project

I am currently a first-year teacher trying to receive as many supplies as possible for my first classroom! My school is in a low-income, urban setting in Manchester, NH, with students of various diverse backgrounds. These items will engage students in learning and will provide essential supplies to those who cannot afford back-to-school shopping.

Some supplies requested are for students' well-being, such as deodorant and combs, as many lack these resources at home.

My classroom needs new toolboxes for every student and helpful learning posters for students to refer to. Other items needed are general class supplies and reward-based items, like buzzers, chair bands, a timer, a clock, stickers, and markers.

My goal is to have students receive essential supplies to be set up for success in my classroom!

It would be AMAZING to receive the supplies requested. I appreciate any contribution!
