My Project

The beginning of a new school year is an exciting time filled with fresh opportunities, new goals, and endless possibilities. However, many of my middle school students arrive without the basic school supplies they need to be successful. As a special education teacher, I strive to ensure that every student has equal access to the tools necessary to learn, grow, and build confidence from the very first day of school.

My classroom serves students with diverse learning needs who benefit from hands-on instruction, organization, and engaging learning experiences.

Having essential classroom materials readily available helps eliminate barriers to learning and allows students to focus on developing academic and life skills rather than worrying about whether they have the supplies they need.

This project will provide back-to-school essentials including notebooks, folders, mechanical pencils, pens, colored pencils, markers, scissors, dry-erase markers, highlighters, index cards, binders, headphones, headphone adapters, white-out, notebook paper, erasers, sticky notes, and other classroom supplies that students use every day. These materials will support individual instruction, small-group learning, classroom organization, and interactive activities throughout the school year.

For many of my students, these supplies are more than just classroom tools—they represent confidence, belonging, and the opportunity to fully participate in learning. By ensuring every student has access to quality materials, we can create a classroom where all learners feel prepared, supported, and valued.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
