Help me give my students basic classroom supplies to stay organized, focused, and engaged as they explore world history and develop skills they’ll carry far beyond the classroom.
My students are thoughtful, driven young men who come to school ready to learn, even when life outside the classroom isn’t easy. What makes them special is their resilience, curiosity, and the pride they take in their growth. The goal of this project is to create an organized, supportive, and student-centered learning environment where they can thrive. Organizational baskets and file organizers will help keep materials easy to access, reducing lost time and distractions. A laminator and paper cutter will allow me to create reusable visual aids, study tools, and reference materials that support different learning styles. Pencils and printer paper ensure no one falls behind for lack of basic supplies. The mini fridge and snacks will help meet students’ basic needs—because hungry students can’t focus. Every item will help build a classroom where students feel prepared, respected, and ready to engage deeply with global history.
More than half of students from low‑income households
