My Project

Dear Donors,

In our classroom, every day is filled with learning, laughter, and lots of movement.

To keep our days running smoothly and to maximize learning time, we need essential materials that support organization, efficiency, and student independence.

I’m asking for help to provide classroom supplies that make a big difference: storage bins to keep materials accessible and organized, dry-erase boards and markers for quick formative assessments, clipboards for flexible seating work, and basic supplies like pencils, paper, and cleaning wipes to maintain a safe and prepared environment. These tools may seem small, but they have a huge impact on how well our class functions.

By supporting this project, you’re helping students stay focused, teachers stay organized, and learning flow without disruption. These materials will support not just academics, but also routines, responsibility, and classroom community.

Thank you for considering a donation to help our classroom thrive!
