Reams for Dreams: Fuel Our Classroom with Paper

Help me give my students paper. So much of our readings are online and it is so nice to have actual printouts to read and annotate in our interactive notebooks.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Deveros's classroom raised $190

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Imagine trying to learn without something as simple and essential as a sheet of paper. In our classroom, paper is more than just a supply. It’s a learning tool, a creative space, a place for ideas to grow. And right now, we’re running out.

While digital resources are a valuable part of education, there is something powerful about having text right in front of you on paper.

Whether it’s annotating a passage, solving a math problem by hand, or sketching out a new idea, students thrive when they can engage with material in a tangible way. Screens just can’t replace that.

Unfortunately, paper is a resource we go through quickly, and we simply don’t have enough to keep up with the needs of our students. That’s why I am asking for your help.

My goal is to raise enough to stock our classroom with reams of copy paper that will carry us through the year. Every ream helps. Every donation counts. Your support will make it possible for students to continue learning in the way that works best for them, by putting pencil to paper and thinking deeply, clearly, and creatively.

If you're able to donate, you're not just giving paper. You're giving students the tools they need to succeed.

Thank you for considering this mighty way to support our classroom.
