Supplies for Bright Futures

Help me give my students Help give my students the supplies they need to succeed. Most of my kindergarteners don’t have access to basic school supplies. Your support helps provide them with things that make a big difference.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McKenna's classroom raised $642

My Project

I love how kind, curious, and resilient my students are. Many of them come from African immigrant and refugee families and often arrive at school without basic supplies. Despite these challenges, they bring so much joy and determination to the classroom. Each resource—pencils, crayons, notebooks, glue—helps them fully engage in learning, express creativity, and build confidence in themselves. These items may seem small, but they make a huge difference. They allow my students to feel prepared, included, and proud of their work. Your support helps create a safe, welcoming space where every child can thrive and feel valued.
