First-Year Teacher Supplies

Help me give my students the education they deserve with these essential classroom materials!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pitcher's classroom raised $1,943

This project is fully funded

My Project

By funding this project, you'll help me to provide my students with an equitable education.

These essential classroom materials will help my students to be prepared to learn on a daily basis.

Some of these items include pencils, markers, highlighters, rulers, and dry erase boards. All of these materials are extremely necessary for my classroom.

I cannot afford to purchase all the materials necessary for my students to be given an equitable education, so I am hopeful that this Donors Choose project will get funded. I am a first-year teacher and I appreciate any and all help I can get for my classroom. Thank you so much! :)
