Mr. Fitzgerald from Las Vegas NV is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Just the Essentials please.

Help me give my students basic supplies to be successful in the classroom. Paper and pencils are consumed quickly. Having supplies to share makes it less embarrassing for those having financial issues at home.

My Project

Our students are Performing Arts students who are following their hearts in a field that they enjoy. Dance, Art, Vocal, etc.

Not all of the students are strong academically but they try really hard because they love being here to work on their crafts.

It's truly a pleasure to see them in their element and they give 100% in their academic classes.

Many families are struggling with basic food and housing needs so these basic classroom supplies often get forgotten when families are not able to make ends meet. Please help provide these basic materials for our students.

Mr. Fitzgerald
Grades 9-12
