School Supplies Needed

Help me give my students markers, spiral notebooks, crayons, and other school supplies to start the new school year off right!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Driscoll's classroom raised $3,525

My Project

Some students walk through the door with everything they need on Day 1, but many do not. The looks on their faces breaks my heart when they have to say, "My parents can't afford my school supplies."

Students at our school are kind, respectful, courteous, and smart.

They live in the inner-city and life struggles run deep. Many of our students' parents choose between paying the bills and paying for these supplies.

We all know it is not cheap to run to the store for these items. Having on hand the basics, like crayons, folders, notebooks, markers, pencils, glue, and whiteboard supplies, will help our students feel confident and cool! Our school has a supply room, so any child who needs supplies can get them for free. Our supplies are low and the budget is frozen.

We need your help.
