Off to a Great Start

Help me give my students the supplies they need to start the year off successfully!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Olson's classroom raised $545

This project is fully funded

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

These supplies are things my students need to throughout the year. Many families struggle to afford all of the supplies students need for the classroom.

This project helps them by providing the supplies to students so they can all start with everything they need and feel ready for a successful year of learning.

Starting the year off on the right foot is so important and prevents students from having to worry about not having necessary supplies. It also helps them organize and take care of their supplies and organize their work which are important skills they need to learn.
