Providing a Positive Environment in Fifth Grade

Help me give my students supplies to enhance their education such as stools, paper and crayons.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schmidt's classroom raised $753

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will allow my student the opportunity to receive new supplies for the first time. As new teachers, oftentimes we are given hand-me-down supplies and classroom decor. We currently have 2 storage shelves that are both falling apart if they are touched. We run out of paper regularly and our markers run dry. I try to provide what I can but through your kindness and generosity, I will be able to provide more art projects as well as a safe place to keep their belongings in our classroom. My main goal is to have a safe, welcoming, but fun place to learn.
