School Supplies for Needy Children

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. David's classroom raised $414

This project is fully funded

I teach 4th grade at a Title I school that is located in South Louisiana. I have wonderful students in my class who love to learn. My school is very dynamic and all of our fourth grade teachers work together to make one-on-one and tactile learning possible for our students. Despite some personal hardships, the parents of my students are cooperative, supportive and desire that their children receive the best education possible. Many have basic necessity needs, so buying school supplies is especially burdensome. School supplies for my own 2 children were over $200 so I can understand the difficulty my parents are having. I also need to point out that our community was drastically impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and my school opened its arms to the students and their parents. My class is in desperate need of pencils, wide-ruled notebook paper, pens, erasers, and markers. These children love school and they love learning, it makes teaching them a privilege instead of a job. I buy all of our Kleenex, paper towels, writing journals, and folders. I also buy baby wipes for the children to wipe their faces after P.E. and recess to refresh them. My students have dreams of college and understand that an education is their way to success. I strive to build relationships with my parents so they know that I will mentor their children throughout their lives, not just in 4th grade. I love my students and it is important to me that they succeed not only in 4th grade, but in life. In the last 3 years I have spent over $3000 of my own money buying uniforms, shoes, eyeglasses, and other things that my students need. I try to care for each child as I would my own children. This grant would go far in helping the children learn.
