Fueling the Future: Help Third Graders Thrive!

Help me give my students joy, comfort, and creativity into a third-grade classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Stuff's classroom raised $634

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help bring joy, comfort, and creativity into a third-grade classroom! I’m raising funds to purchase a cozy new classroom rug and a wide variety of school supplies that will allow my students to engage in hands-on, exciting learning experiences all year long.

Your donation will directly support a space where students can gather, collaborate, and explore learning in fun and meaningful ways.

A new rug will help us create a welcoming and calm environment where we can build community and focus on social-emotional well-being. With fresh supplies in hand, we’ll dive into creative projects, interactive lessons, and activities that support every learning style.

As a teacher who believes deeply in making learning fun while also supporting students’ mental health, I’m committed to creating a classroom that feels safe, inspiring, and full of opportunity. Your support means the world to us—thank you for helping our third-grade community shine!
