New Grade, New Start, New Year!

Help me give my students new school supplies and storage to start the new school year on an even footing.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Richmond's classroom raised $630

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Summertime is almost here. School is almost out, but before long, parents will have to once again get ready to buy school supplies for their children. My students this year have worked hard all year and are almost ready to become second graders!

When the new school year begins I want all of my new students to once again start off with all of the right school supplies just like my former students.

The convenient seat sacks will be used to help them organize their supplies: pencils and pouch, erasers, crayons, folders, scissors and notebooks.

The parents will be relieved to find out that their children will have what they need even if they couldn't afford it!
