Kia Motors Wants To Help! How About You?

My students need basic school supplies like pencils, pens, markers and poster board. We would also like a Bulletin Bar to hang their projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lantinga's classroom raised $444

This project is fully funded

My Students

It is so important for students to have the basics! A pencil. A Pen. A Marker. It's hard to get excited about school when you don't have something to write with!

I teach 119 inner city school students and all they need is a little boost to bring out their best.

A new pencil, a gel pen and colorful markers for their poster making really does mean so much to them. It's just what they need to peak their interest and to get them excited to create a work of art!

My Project

We would like packages of pencils, gel pens, colorful Sharpie markers, poster board and a cork strip for displaying our work. We create a lot poster projects to show our learning and would be delighted if we can make these projects as exciting as possible!

I was so excited to see that Kia Motors was will to match funds for our school and I'm hoping that you would be to help out as well.

I know pencils and markers seem like a basic, but it's a basic that so many of my students don't have. Please team up with Kia and me and over 100 students excited about their classroom projects!
