Help my students with essentials!

Help me give my students supplies they need to be creative, engaged, happy students! Also with state testing coming, headphones will help tremendously! These will ensure my students can focus and do their very best on their test.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Swerdlick's classroom raised $293

My Project

Coming from a low income school, my students do not have the supplies needed to be creative. My students love to create projects, color and draw. Of course pencils, markers, and other essential supplies are needed to support my creative classroom.

Having supplies at the begging of the year dwindling down to only a few markers and pencils have made it difficult to fully support my students.

Donations will ensure my students continue to be creative and do what they love most. Seeing them light up when creating is one of the most amazing sights I see as a teacher.

With state testing coming up, headphones will be essential for them to do their very best on their tests.
