Help me give my students back-to-school supplies to help give my classroom a strong start next year.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Straus's classroom raised $349
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
This project includes materials to help support learning and basic student needs in my classroom next year. I keep a container filled with pencils at my door. Students that need a pencil can take one as they enter my room. Hand sanitizer and tissues will help us keep ourselves clean. The raffle tickets are for small prizes that students can win in class for demonstrating positive behavior.
Many students experience stress if they are missing the basic and essential class materials.
Many students rely on their teachers and school to supply necessities. Your support allows students to focus on their lessons instead of worrying about materials.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
