Support My Students' Basic Needs and Learning Tools

Help me give my students supplies for school. I am trying to establish an area for students to be able to come and get any supplies they need.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hoffman's classroom raised $440

This project is fully funded

My Project

Hello! I’m a teacher at a school in a low-income area of Lafayette, Indiana. Throughout the year, our classroom supplies have run low, and many of my students come to school without even the most basic necessities.

During the school year, many students run out of their school supplies.

Mechanical pencils are especially popular with my students—they love using them, and I would love to provide a set that students can borrow and return during class. Small things like this make a big impact on their learning and their confidence.

Your support would help me restock our classroom with:

Mechanical pencils and lead refills

Other basic school supplies as needed

Thank you for considering helping my incredible students. Your generosity will make a real difference in their day-to-day lives and education.
