FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Robinson's classroom raised $527

This project is fully funded

My Project

Every student should be given an equal opportunity to learn! There are many times students are unable to buy supplies to help them be successful. These supplies will ensure that every student will have access to tools that are provided in the classroom so there will not be any barriers in their learning.

With proper writing utensils, paper, and calculators, students will stay organized and take notes everyday!

It will support them in class and outside of class where these are essential supplies that they can use anywhere!

Ms. Robinson Kenwood Academy Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
