Help Us Keep Our Classroom Well-Stocked

Help me give my students the essential supplies needed for my classroom, such as pencils, colored pencils, bulletin board paper, and binders.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carrie Wan's classroom raised $207

My Project

I am a veteran 7th and 10th grade World History teacher, but also Academic Decathlon & Academic Pentathlon coach. Many students are struggling emotionally and socially with coming back to school and learning the new normal. Most of our students are also on free and/or reduced-price lunches. I want to do my best to show students how much their work means to me as a teacher and as their coach.

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 supplies 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.

Thank you in advance for your help with this project. Our team is taking many practice tests that require pencils for scantron use that they are not used to anymore! We also need new colored pencils because I use them in my classroom every day. Our competition teams also need binders for all the resources to be organized. My students should feel that they have all the support they need. Thank you for helping them!
