New Grade, New Needs: Help Us Shine!

Help me give my students these supplies that will help keep our classroom clean, organized, and stocked with essentials my students need to learn and thrive.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pigott's classroom raised $432

My Project

Switching grade levels this year means starting over with classroom supplies and no budget due to budget cuts. Items like pencils, whiteboards, and hot glue sticks are not just basic tools—they are essential for daily instruction, creativity, and student engagement. Chair pockets will help keep materials organized and within reach, giving students more independence and fewer distractions. Clorox wipes and tissues will help us stay healthy and learning without interruption.

My goal for this project is to create a clean, organized, and well-stocked classroom where students can focus, feel supported, and do their best work.

These supplies will allow us to start the year strong and maintain a productive environment all year long.

My students are eager, curious, and full of potential. What makes them special is their resilience and love of learning, even when resources are limited. With your support, they’ll have the tools they need to succeed from day one.
