Help Me Give Students Essential Supplies!

Help me give my students the essentials and supplies we need to do our best on the AP Exams and Academic Decathlon/Pentathlon competitions!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carrie Wan's classroom raised $218

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am new to teaching AP World History (APWH), Academic Decathlon, Academic Pentathlon (eighth-grade team), and a veteran 7th and 10th grade World History teacher. Many students are struggling emotionally and socially with COVID and many are going into quarantine.

With this in mind, I want to support my students as much as possible.

I want to support my students by giving them the essential supplies this year and encourage them to always try their best.

My students and I need essential supplies to get ready for their upcoming AP Exams and Academic Decathlon/

Pentathlon competitions. The gift of these pencils, pens, notebooks and more supplies which will have a huge impact on my students' ability and motivation to be as competitive in their competitions. I want to ensure that they have everything they need.

My students will receive encouragement with trophies for getting the highest score on their practice tests. These practice tests require pencils for scantron use that they are not used to anymore! We also need new pencil sharpeners to sharpen these pencils! The wipes are to replace my dwindling supply of disinfecting wipes to keep the tables clean. Lastly, I like to have pen refills rather than new pens. My students should feel that they have all the support they need. Thank you for helping them!
