Help me give my students tissues for the upcoming cold and flu season.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nix's classroom raised $180
This project is fully funded
My Students
I teach in an urban, diverse school of 3,000+ students in the heart of Central New York. A typical classroom can have students from Myanmar, Somalia, Bosnia, and Belarus learning side-by-side with students who have never left the state. It makes for quite an interesting teaching and learning experience!
It is my goal to make my classroom a safe and versatile space where students can reach their fullest potential!
Our school is, even by our state's own calculations, drastically underfunded. We are a refugee relocation city, and many of our students are the sons and daughters of newly arrived immigrants. Built for 2,000 students, our school is incredibly overcrowded. Teachers share classrooms, students share textbooks, and space is at a premium. Students often do not have access to even the most basic of learning materials, and teachers either pay for it out of their own pockets or the students go without.
My Project
Winter is coming in Central New York, and that means lots and lots of sniffles. While our district has been great about buying us masks, hand sanitizer, and alcohol wipes for our desk and computers, they have not given us tissues for said runny noses! Unlike elementary schools where parents are asked to bring in classroom supplies, we often forget that high school students get stuffy noses too!
My students need tissues for the upcoming cold and flu season.
I got a case a few years ago from DonorsChoose, but we are quickly running out!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
