Students Need Supplies

Help me give my students everyday classroom supplies to make this upcoming school year a success.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Belfus's classroom raised $219

This project is fully funded

My Project

Many of my students do not have the school supplies they need to excel in school. They need even the most basic supplies like pens and markers. I teach students with a wide variety of needs. Some of my students are in learning support, autistic support, and emotional support. It is important to me that these students have all the supplies they need to succeed.

I need these supplies so no child in my class has to be without the bare necessities a student needs to learn and be successful in school.

Some of these basic supplies are pencils, pens, markers, notebooks and tape. They need these supplies to write essays, take notes, and create posters and art projects. Having these supplies will make sure that no one is embarrassed or feels unprepared when they walk into my classroom.
