New School Year Classroom Essentials

Help me give my students classroom essentials to start the 2025 school year off with smiles.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Smith's classroom raised $549

My Project

A new school year brings fresh opportunities to create a classroom where students feel welcomed, celebrated, and excited to learn! I want to build a space that makes my students smile the moment they walk through the door—a place where birthdays are celebrated, community is built, and every child feels valued.

With your support, I’ll provide essential materials to start the year strong.

Resources such as name tags, stadium seats, birthday celebration materials, and smiley face borders will create an inviting classroom environment. Playground balls, Post-it easel paper, and play-dough will add to the classroom's joyful spirit. These resources will help me foster a positive, nurturing classroom where learning feels fun, friendships grow, and every student has what they need to thrive.
