Restocking Student Supplies for Success

Help me give my students all the fresh supplies they need for a successful new school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melissa Rios's classroom raised $556

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

Starting the new year can be overwhelming and stressful for families and students. These basic supplies will ensure my students have folders and notebooks to be organized and ready for my class.

When students come to my classroom, I want them to be secure in knowing all they need to bring is a desire to learn and grow.

Help me restock my supply closet so students will always have what they need for success.

Most students and families at my school focus on clothes and food and often basic supplies get last on the list. Having supplies on hand helps ensure that the learning never stops and all students have equal opportunity to feel confident and ready to learn.
