My Project

I am reaching out on behalf of our elementary school, a Title 1 school dedicated to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment for all of our students, including those in special education. Many of our students face financial challenges, and we want to ensure that every child, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the supplies they need to feel prepared, confident, and ready to learn. Our goal is to provide essential classroom supplies such as notebooks, pencils, folders, sensory tools, storage pockets, storage bins and other learning materials whenever students need them. We also want to create a comfortable, welcoming space that meets the needs of our special education students, helping them feel safe, supported, and engaged in their learning journey.

With your help, we can make our classroom a place where every student, regardless of ability or background, can thrive in an easy, happy, and well equipped learning environment.

We would be incredibly grateful for any support DonorsChoose can provide to help make this possible. Thank you for your time and consideration, we truly appreciate the opportunity to create a lasting impact together!
