Help Bright Minds Shine: Basic Supplies for Big Dreams

Help me give my students basic classroom supplies to help create their big dreams

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thrash's classroom raised $478

My Project

Imagine showing up every day excited to learn—but not having the simple tools to do it. That’s the reality for many of my amazing students in our Title 1 classroom, where resources are limited but the desire to grow is endless.

My students are eager, curious, and full of potential.

What we need are the everyday basics to help make our learning environment function smoothly—Expo markers to light up our whiteboards with ideas, flip chart markers to showcase our thinking, and classroom headphones so every learner can focus and thrive. We're also in need of essentials like pencils, pens, a classroom calendar to stay organized, and hand soap to keep our space clean and healthy.

These may seem like small things—but in our world, they’re everything. Your support means our classroom can run with less stress and more joy. Every item will directly impact a child who simply wants the chance to succeed.

Thank you for believing in our classroom and for helping make learning feel possible and powerful.
