New Year, New Supplies

Help me give my students headphones, whiteboards, and printer ink to begin the new school year! Many supplies were given to students to use remotely last year and will need to be replaced.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Metropoulos's classroom raised $1,768

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Students

My students are great kids who are often growing up in less than ideal circumstances.

They are a fabulous group of individuals that need help to ensure a wonderful elementary experience.

Many of the students come from broken homes and they witness violence in their streets. My school has many students living in poverty, a high level of students receive special education services, and English is not the first language of a large group of students. Too many days the students come to school not dressed in school uniforms that are warm enough. They wear the same short-sleeved shirt every day because they do not have long-sleeved shirts, sweaters, or sweatshirts to wear during the cold months. Fortunately, most students persevere through their hardships and are able to have an awesome school experience.

My Project

My students use headphones on a daily basis and would love to have new ones that aren't so bulky and old to use when they have to. Headphones are essential to our classroom and having these tools would help the students be better learners and have the technology they need to be college and career ready.

All of these supplies would make a nice beginning of the school year more inviting and comfortable.

Whiteboards, erasers, and dry erase markers are an extremely important part of our math class. These materials are used continuously during math class allowing for repeated practice of problems.

Please consider donating to this project so the students will be provided with great supplies.
