Mid-Year Replenishment of Resources

Help me give my students a boost of supplies and snacks as we enter the second semester

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Strzalkowska's classroom raised $658

This project is fully funded

My Students

This is my seventh year teaching at a struggling Brooklyn community-based high school. I love my job and my students, but we often cannot experience hands-on activities because of a lack of resources. The majority of my students come from low-income households and often cannot afford school supplies. More than 1/3 of my students struggle because of a range of special education needs.

Despite their hardships, they are enthusiastic and love to learn, especially through experiences.

I would really like to be able to provide them all the supplies and resources that will make their school year fun, exploratory, and stress-free. As a teacher at a community high school, I want to provide my students with the opportunities all kids deserve to learn and feel great about their progress.

My Project

My students are currently in need of some additional resources as we have used up most available in my classroom- like pencils and printer ink. I would also like to restock on their favorite snacks (many students come by asking for those throughout the day, especially those who do not eat the school lunch or maybe did not get to have breakfast in the morning). And because it's Black History Month (and vast majority of my students are African American), I would love to add some posters to my classroom celebrating black historical figures and inventors.
