New Year, New Supplies

Help me give my students a new pencil sharpener, calculators, tissue, paper towels, pencils, and other classroom supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gilder's classroom raised $227

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 Project

As we enter the second half of the school year, our math classroom supply cabinet is in need of some replenishment. I hope to welcome my new students with all of the supplies necessary for them to start 2024 feeling prepared and confident.

These students deserve to begin the new year with all of the supplies necessary to be successful in our math class.

This project would provide my students with math notebooks, math folders, calculators, pencils, paper towels, a new pencil sharpener, and more. All of these supplies are essential for students on the first day of school. I'm excited for all of the work that students will do when we return to school and I want to ensure that they have all of the tools that they need.
