Setting Up for Success: Organizational Tools

Help me give my students binders, notebooks, folders, and other materials to help my freshmen develop strong organizational skills and build habits that support their success in high school.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. West's classroom raised $581

My Project

Starting high school can be overwhelming, especially for freshmen adjusting to new routines and academic expectations. To help my students thrive, I’m seeking support to provide essential organizational materials like binders, composition notebooks, folders, binder dividers, and more. These tools will be part of the daily systems we use to teach and reinforce foundational organizational habits that set students up for success across all subjects.

With your help, each student will have access to the consistent materials they need to stay on track, manage their assignments, and build confidence in their ability to navigate high school.

Many of my students do not have the means to purchase these supplies themselves, and having them provided creates a more equitable and supportive learning environment.

Your donation will make a direct and meaningful impact by helping students develop lifelong skills in responsibility, time management, and academic independence. Thank you for helping us start strong!
