Student Essentials

Help me give my students finger highlighters, and incentives to encourage them to be successful.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Minnie's classroom raised $185

This project is fully funded

My Project

The school I teach at is a Title I-funded school, and the majority of our families are considered low-income. These supplies will take the burden of purchasing new supplies off of the families and make it so all students have the same supplies to use each day. These materials will help my students be successful at completing tasks and learning at school.

I work with a diverse population of students who have varying needs and benefit from interactive lessons.

The supplies that are being requested include finger highlighters for students to use to follow along while reading, and incentives to encourage them to work hard. These are essential items that are needed on a daily basis for my students to be successful.

Ms. Minnie Horizon Science Academy - Youngstwn Grades 6-8

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