Help Give Students the Essentials Needed for Equity and Success

Help me give my students supplies needed to ensure their academic success in my classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Tran's classroom raised $187

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love my students for their resilience, creativity, and curiosity. Despite the challenges they face outside the classroom, they come ready to learn and engage with the material. Many of my students are socio-economically disadvantaged and often come to class without basic supplies, but their determination to succeed remains unwavering.

The resources I’m requesting will directly support their learning and success.

Pencils will ensure that every student has the essential tool to complete their assignments without stress or delay. Markers will allow them to express their understanding through colorful and creative visuals, making learning more engaging and memorable. File folders will help them stay organized, making it easier to keep track of their work and take pride in their progress. Together, these materials will help create a more equitable and effective learning environment for all of my students.
