Students Need to Learn (Not Worry About School Supplies)

Help me give my students paper, pens, tape, post-its and more to have on their desks so they don't have to hunt around for these supplies when needed!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barrett's classroom raised $310

My Project

When students are trying to learn and discover, they should not have to worry about acquiring school supplies. While some students have the means to purchase their own quality supplies, many students do not and are afraid to ask. When this happens, students will try to make do with inadequate supplies and their learning can suffer.

To ensure that my students are focused on learning, I am requesting essential supplies for each student and for the classroom so that each student feels they have everything they need to focus on the discovery and learning process.

Cases, pencils, pens, index cards, and highlighters will ensure that each student has quality materials for use in the classroom and at home. Post-It Notes & tabs, tape, and dry erase markers will help enhance learning and organization.

With your support students will not have to worry about how or where they are getting supplies for school. They will be able to focus on discovery, building skills and making meaningful connections.
