Supplies for First Grade Scholars

Help me give my students every day classroom materials needed to engage daily learning

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cortez's classroom raised $496

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I work in a Title l school in San Francisco. As we all know, funding for schools is an every day struggle, and the shortage of resources and supplies is very real. I have new first grade scholars coming in, and we are in need of school supplies!

I want my first graders to have the every day materials needed to be successful: water bottles for drinking water, writing, reading, and math folders, markers, crayons, etc.

I am hopeful to receive help in gathering the materials necessary to ensure students have what they need to learn and grow their brains. I appreciate any support!
