My Project

As an 8th-grade teacher, I strive to create a learning environment where students can focus on their education, not their supplies. However, many essential classroom tools are in high demand, and we need your help to provide these resources to our students.

Kleenex is a simple yet crucial item, especially during cold and allergy season.

Students frequently need tissues, and having a supply on hand ensures they stay healthy and focused, rather than distracted by discomfort.

Pencils are a basic necessity for all classroom work, from note-taking to assignments and tests. While we often ask students to bring their own, there are always those who forget or run out. Having a ready supply ensures no student falls behind due to something as simple as a missing pencil.

Staplars and three-hole punches are essential for keeping work organized. These tools allow students to neatly compile assignments and notes into binders, promoting better organization and study habits. When students can easily access their own work and notes, it boosts confidence and efficiency.

Tab dividers are key for students to organize their binders. With so many subjects and materials to track, dividers help students stay on top of assignments and manage their workload. They create a sense of structure, which is vital for middle school learners still developing organizational skills.

By contributing to these items, you are investing in both the education and success of students. Your donation ensures that every child has the resources they need to succeed academically and stay engaged in the classroom.

Thank you for your generosity.
