Help me give my students pencils, pens, paper, markers, and other school supplies they need and do not have access to.

My students are in sixth through twelfth grade. They are here in an alternative school because they can not function in a normal classroom setting. Many of my students come from families with one parent and deal with many emotional and mental issues. I also have a large number of exceptional children and some ESL children.
We receive very limited funding from our county and state.
More often than not, materials that we do have, are handed down and outdated and do not align to our standard course of study.
Many of my students struggle with school and are used to being unsuccessful. They often are two-three grade levels below where they should be.
Low income students rarely have the school supplies they need. Every year my students come to school with just the clothes on their backs. Needed supplies like pencils, paper, markers, etc are bought and paid for by the teachers, out of our own pockets. Our school is an alternative school that receives no funding from the state and very little funding from our county. I would love to restock my school supply cabinet so my kiddos never have to go without or feel ashamed or embarrassed if they do not have the proper school supplies. Having proper supplies enables them to learn more effectively and be more productive. Worrying about school supplies should never be a worry they should have.
