Prepping to Prep!

Help me give my students the necessary supplies to stay organized and take academic risks!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Oeckel's classroom raised $440

This project is fully funded

My Project

A large number of my students don't have backpacks or other ways to stay organized. With hundreds of students using a classroom a day, it can become incredibly difficult for students to keep their work stored safety in the room, as well. The supplies requested for this project - folders, notebooks, pencils, highlighters - will give my students everything they need to not only be ready for class - but to keep their work safe and easily accessible.

My goal for this project is to be able to provide every student a folder, a graphing notebook, and any additionally supplies they may need to get to learning!

These supplies are crucial for student success - and I hope you can help me get there!
