The Final Stretch: Classroom Must-Haves for a Strong Finish!

Help me give my students items like wipes, tissue, headphones, fidgets, ink, and snacks to help us get through this last half of the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lloyd Murray's classroom raised $480

My Project

As we enter the second half of the school year, my students continue to work hard every day. To keep them focused and comfortable, we need essential supplies like tissues, wipes, headphones, fidgets, and snacks. These items may seem small, but they make a huge difference in our daily learning environment.

Headphones help students concentrate during independent work, while fidgets support those who need movement to stay engaged.

Tissues and wipes keep our classroom clean and healthy, reducing disruptions from sniffles and messes. Snacks provide a boost of energy, ensuring no student is too hungry to learn.

My goal with this project is to create a supportive and distraction-free space where students can thrive. By meeting their basic needs, I can help them stay focused on their lessons rather than discomfort or hunger.

What makes my students special is their determination and enthusiasm for learning, even when challenges arise. They show up every day ready to grow, and I want to give them every tool they need to succeed. With your support, we can ensure they finish the year strong!
