Help me give my students basic supplies like notebooks, pencils, and erasers to start their year on the right foot!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ehrlich's classroom raised $472

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I believe that every student should walk into a well-stocked classroom where they will always have the supplies to create, learn, and explore new ideas.
Welcome to a third grade, a bilingual classroom full of hard-working, enthusiastic students!
My bilingual classroom is the landing spot for third graders who have just arrived in the United States. My students are incredibly hard workers who always come to school ready to learn, no matter what is going on outside of the classroom. My goal as a teacher is to provide my students with all that they need to be successful learners.
My Project
While I normally request supplies just for my class, this project will benefit all 140 incoming third-grade students at my school. Our school community has been one of the hardest-hit areas of New York City in this COVID-19 crisis. Many parents have been out of work and are only beginning to recover economically, while others have been stricken with terrible illnesses due to COVID-19. Because of the jarring economic impact on our families, we would like to surprise our students with all the supplies they will need this year.
Our goal as a third-grade team is to welcome each student into our classrooms, whether in-person or online, and provide them and their families with all the supplies they will need.
This project is just one cost-effective way to allow every single one of our incoming 140 third-grade students to have their own pencils, notebooks, and eraser. We want to ensure that no student misses out on learning opportunities because their family may have trouble buying supplies this year. This will also help us maintain social-distancing in our classrooms, as each student will receive their own personal set of supplies! I hope I can count on your support to help our 140 third-graders be prepared for school this year!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
