Supplies to Enhance Learning

Help me give my students supplies for this school year. I am requesting school supplies and ink for our classroom printer.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. O'Brien's classroom raised $885

My Students

My students come from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds and live in a very diverse community. All of our students receive free lunch and we are a Title 1 school. Our school is located in a rural area and some students travel long distances to arrive on our campus.

What makes my students special is their desire and willingness to learn and better themselves.

When given opportunities for new learning, they are willing to take on the challenge. Exposing students to new and different content will broaden their college and career options and give them greater choices for their future.

My Project

Students will be returning to class in a few days after a year of pandemic learning. I want to help make this transition easy, exciting, and stress free. By providing students with school supplies, they will have everything they need to be successful in the classroom upon their return. I am most excited to reinforce vocabulary through the use of flashcards. Students will each receive their own set of index cards, binder clips, and colorful writing tools to create their own learning cards which will give them a much needed screen break. I am also looking forward to having fresh ink for our printer to allow students to print and display their work.
