Great Supplies Make the Difference!

Help me give my students the supplies to be successful learners at home!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. McTrusty's classroom raised $500

My Students

My students are a group of highly energetic, amazing children with Behavioral Needs in grades 1 - 5. Many students with Behavioral Disabilities have difficulties in learning new information, communicating, and social interaction.

My students are most engaged through hands-on learning activities and computer-based learning.

My students range in both grade levels and academic levels. Finding activities that can encompass all my learners can be difficult! I teach in an urban elementary school in Milwaukee with a high poverty rate. All of my kids have excellent attendance and have a LOVE of learning!

My Project

My students are working so hard during virtual learning. I am very proud of all the efforts they have put into learning the new world of virtual learning.

My students would greatly benefit from quality school supplies.

I have noticed that many times they do not have the most basic of supplies such as paper and pencils to work with.

With these great supplies for my project, the students will not only be able to complete school work with confidence, but they will also feel more confident knowing they have the supplies they need to be successful.
