Help me give my students supplies for a 6th grade social studies class. I want to be able to give them a great culture and some supplies are food because some students are in need of food

My Project

I hope this message finds you well. As I prepare for the upcoming school year, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in helping me gather essential supplies for my 6th grade Social Studies classroom.

Many of my students come to class eager to learn but lack some of the basic materials that support an engaging and successful learning environment.

Items such as notebooks, folders, pencils, colored pencils, glue sticks, and chart paper can make a significant difference in how students interact with the content and stay organized throughout the year.

If you or your organization are able to contribute or point me in the direction of available resources or donations, I would be extremely grateful. Your support would go a long way in creating a welcoming, well-equipped space where all students can thrive.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
