First Year in Public School

Help me give my students an amazing start of the school year with all the materials they will need!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gaumond's classroom raised $507

This project is fully funded

My Students

This is my first year working with these high school special education students in a sub-separate English class. These students are highly motivated to get to graduation and we are going to help them get there by passing the MCAS this year!

My Project

This project will help me start the year off right with all of the materials I will need to help my students be successful for the school year! Pencils, composition notebooks, index cards are all things on my wishlist to help me prepare my students for the year ahead! Also there are things on the list to keep my students active participants within the classroom! As it is my first year in a new school I don’t have many of the materials I will need. With your help I and my students will be able to have a strong start to the school year!
