Support a Spartan: Gear Up for 7th Grade

Help me give my students supplies to succeed in their first year of middle school.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Abbott's classroom raised $4,827

This project is fully funded

My Project

Each year, many of our 7th grade students on the Navigator Team at our school walk into school excited to learn but without the basic supplies they need to succeed. Notebooks, pencils, folders, and other simple tools can make a huge difference in how prepared and confident they feel each day. When students have what they need, they can focus more on learning and less on feeling left behind. This project will allow us to create classroom supply kits so every Navigator starts strong, no matter their circumstances.

Equity starts with a full backpack.

Our goal is to level the playing field by making sure all of our students—regardless of income—have the tools they need to participate fully. The Navigators are a curious, determined, and compassionate group of young people. They show up ready to try, to support one another, and to grow. They deserve every opportunity to shine, and this project will help them do just that.
