Help Classroom Supplies Needed

Help me give my students essential classroom supplies and rewards that they need for the new school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carey's classroom raised $279

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I am requesting some basic supplies for our classroom. The supplies will enhance learning, motivation, and engagement! These supplies include Kleenex and hand sanitizer to keep my students healthy. I am requesting classroom prizes to keep students motivated throughout the year. We also need crayons, markers, erasers, and a paper cutter to bring their projects to life.

The supplies like erasers and crayons in this project will provide my students with materials that are necessary for day-to-day activities and work that will take place in our classroom.

These supplies will help ease the burden on my students' families by helping to provide school supplies that every child will use in our classroom.

Classroom supplies are fundamental for the daily function of the classroom. Please consider making a positive difference in the life of a child and enhancing their learning experience. Thank you so much.
