Supplies for Success!

Help me give my students new school supplies to replace ones that we currently have that are old and worn out or broken.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Elsey's classroom raised $521

This project is fully funded

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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting are to support my students in their daily activities. The student utility boxes are to help keep all of their supplies stored where they can be easily accessed and kept organized. The majority of the other materials that are included in this project are to replace what we currently have in the classroom that are either worn out and/or broken.

These new supplies will help my students feel more equipped to be successful, as these are tools that they will use frequently.

My students and I truly appreciate donations of any amount that help support this project.
