My Project

At our small charter school, our teachers go above and beyond every day to make sure students have the best learning experience possible. They pour their energy into lesson planning, engaging instruction, and supporting each child’s growth. Unfortunately, this often means our dedicated teachers also spend their own money to purchase classroom essentials—from sticky notes and markers to folders and pencils—just to make sure students have what they need to succeed.

By having these supplies delivered directly to teachers, we can reduce the stress of purchasing materials out of pocket and keep classrooms running smoothly.

When teachers have the tools they need, students benefit from more focused lessons, uninterrupted learning time, and a positive, well-equipped classroom environment where every child can thrive.

Most importantly, students will feel the direct impact of this project every day. With supplies always available, they can fully participate in activities, complete their assignments with confidence, and know that their classroom is a place where learning comes first. A well-stocked supply cart means fewer interruptions, more hands-on opportunities, and the joy of learning without the worry of missing out because of a missing pencil, eraser, or glue stick.
