“Supplies That Support: Because Every Student Matters”

Help me give my students my students essential classroom supplies and personal care items, including tissues, pencils, hygiene products, snacks, and fidget toys to support their focus, well-being, and confidence throughout the school day.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Slovinski's classroom raised $477

My Project

Help me give my students access to essential personal care items, snacks, school supplies, and comfort items through a 'No Questions Asked' classroom support basket.

Every student deserves to come to class feeling confident, cared for, and ready to learn—but too often, personal needs get in the way.

With your support, I want to create a "No Questions Asked" basket in my high school classroom. This space will discreetly offer students access to hygiene products, snacks, and basic school supplies—no shame, no explanations required.

Included in this project are:

Tissues, pencils, and granola bars to support daily classroom needs.

Pads, tampons, deodorant, dry shampoo, body spray, and lotion to help students manage hygiene with dignity.

Acrylic and fabric storage containers to keep items organized and accessible.

Flossers and other personal care items for students who may not have consistent access to them at home.

A party favor kit and bubble gum to help create a lighthearted, welcoming environment that reduces stress and promotes community.

These supplies will go into a clearly labeled basket that students can visit privately, without needing to ask for permission or explain their needs. This helps break down barriers that might otherwise prevent students from focusing on learning.

Your donation can help us create a classroom culture where every student feels seen, supported, and respected. Thank you for being a part of this meaningful change.
