Providing for a Lower-Income, 5th Grade Class

Help me give my students more enriching lessons and a better classroom environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lee's classroom raised $687

My Project

We are reaching out for help in stocking our class with needed items for not only academic endeavors but also providing supplies for lower income students. It is my intention to use the academic supplies to differentiate our history lessons and social projects. Many of the supplies will be used to better show the students how to keep our class clean and presentable.

Our school is a Public Charter School located in a diminished area.

My goal for this project is twofold; supplement our lessons to bring history "alive" and to provide a comfortable environment where the students know their needs are cared for. Despite, or perhaps because of these challenges, our students are hardworking, focused and dedicated students with a passion for learning. With your generous help, these various items with succeed in providing a more welcome classroom in which to learn.
