My Project

Our 8th grade classroom essentials wishlist is designed to provide students with the tools they need to thrive academically and creatively. As we prepare for a year full of growth, exploration, and achievement, having access to basic supplies like notebooks, pens, folders, and art materials can make a big difference in keeping students organized and engaged. These everyday items may seem small, but they help create a smooth, supportive learning environment where everyone can do their best.

In addition to core supplies, we also hope to include resources that spark curiosity and collaboration—like dry-erase boards, anxiety & fidget tools, along with hands-on learning tools.

With your support, we can ensure our classroom is stocked and ready to meet the needs of all learners, making each day more meaningful and productive. Your generosity helps us build not just a classroom, but a community where students feel prepared, supported, and excited to learn.
