State Testing Supplies

Help me give my students headphones and snacks for our upcoming state testing. We have no working headphones which is a requirement for testing. I would like to provide them with healthy snacks to energize them during testing.

My Project

Empowering Students for Success

Many of my students face challenges that extend beyond the classroom, but I want to ensure that lack of resources is never a barrier to their success—especially during state testing.

How These Items Make a Difference:

* Headphones are required for testing, yet most of my students cannot afford them. Providing them ensures that every student can fully engage with their exams without distraction.

* Snacks help nourish students who arrive at school hungry, giving them the energy to focus and do their best.

* Pencils are an essential learning tool, making sure every student is equipped for both testing and daily lessons.

* Cleaning supplies help maintain a tidy and comfortable learning environment. With no outside cleaning support, my students take pride in sweeping and mopping at the end of each day, fostering responsibility and care for their space.

Our Goal:

I want to provide my students with the necessary tools to succeed on their tests and create a clean, welcoming classroom where they feel supported and ready to learn.

What Makes My Students Special:

My students are some of the most resilient and empathetic individuals I know. Many have faced significant hardships and trauma, yet they continue to show up with big hearts, a strong sense of community, and a growth mindset. They are eager to learn, determined to succeed, and full of potential.

Your support would make a meaningful impact in their lives, ensuring they have everything they need to thrive. Thank you for being a part of their journey!
