Fresh Start, Full Hearts: Supplying Kindergarteners for a Strong Year

Help me give my students the basic supplies they need—folders, pencil boxes, and more—to start the year ready to learn and grow.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Avis's classroom raised $457

My Project

There’s something magical about kindergarten. It’s where imaginations bloom, friendships begin, and the love of learning takes root. I love my kindergarteners because they come into our classroom full of wonder, excitement, and the sweetest eagerness to learn—even when life has already handed them challenges.

Many of my students come from low-income households with limited access to basic school supplies.

Our school receives minimal funding, and families are doing their best just to make ends meet. Showing up with a backpack full of supplies isn’t always possible—but that’s where you can make a difference.

With your support, I can give each child the tools they need to feel confident and cared for on day one. Crayons to bring their stories to life. Scissors to build their fine motor skills. Notebooks to practice letters and numbers. Glue sticks, pencils, and folders to support early writing, creativity, and organization. These supplies are more than just materials—they are the building blocks of their first school experience.

When a child has what they need, they feel proud, included, and ready to learn. Your generosity helps ensure every little learner starts strong—with a full heart and a fresh start.
