Ready to Rise: Back-to-School Orientation

Help me give my students a welcoming and stimulating environment where they can grow. Your support helps create a classroom that doesn’t just teach — it empowers, heals, and uplifts our resilient learners.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Roberts's classroom raised $642

My Project

My goal is to help families kick off the school year with practical tools (backpacks, markers, folders, pencils, pencil pouches), resources (drawing boards, a STEM kit), and confidence (deodorant, toothbrushes), with a focus on mental health, school readiness, and community connection.

Each child is gifted with unique abilities to thrive.

They just need the right crew and the right tools. Each item was carefully selected to encourage growth, wellness, support, and creativity throughout the first six weeks of school. We are looking to empower students, families, and community members. Thank you for helping us create Stronger Minds, Stronger Families, and Stronger Futures. We are the future of tomorrow, but today we are Ready To Rise!
