My Project

My 4th-grade classroom is full of curious, kind, and hardworking students who are eager to grow—but we’re in need of a refresh to keep our space engaging and well-stocked. Our school is a Title I-funded campus, and many of our families are unable to provide basic school supplies. We’re running low on essentials, and our classroom furniture and organization tools are due for an update.

With your support, we hope to restock our supplies and create a more flexible, student-centered learning space.

In addition to basic materials like pencils and markers, we’re asking for a set of sturdy stools and folding bleacher seats to give students more seating options for small-group work and centers. We’re also requesting a classroom mailbox system to help with organization, daily handouts, and to promote student responsibility.
