FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rucker's classroom raised $237
This project is fully funded
My Project
As a 6th-grade English teacher in a Title I school, my goal is to create a classroom where students not only feel supported but are excited to grow as readers and learners. Many of my students face challenges outside of school, but I believe in their incredible potential to succeed.
I'm raising donations to enhance my classroom management strategies and provide engaging resources that will motivate my students to read and improve their literacy skills.
Your support will help me foster a positive, structured learning environment where my students can thrive academically and develop a lifelong love for reading. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their futures.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
