Restarting a Classroom After 9 Years!

Help me give my students and I much needed supplies for our classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Seltzer's classroom raised $618

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

After 9 years of teaching Adult Education (part time), I am excitedly returning to the classroom on a full time basis. With your donation, my students and I will be able to focus less on supplies and materials and more on being present in the classroom. The classroom decor and bulletin board organization will help my students and their families feel welcome in our classroom. The supplies, including paper, markers, and pencils, will ensure that they will be prepared on a daily basis. I appreciate any help you can offer to start off our new school year.
