Tools for Tomorrow’s Thinkers

Help me give my students the supplies and materials that we need for the school year

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Taylor's classroom raised $954

This project is fully funded

My Project

Tools for Tomorrow’s Thinkers is a project dedicated to supporting the hardworking students in our rural 3rd-grade classrooms. In small communities like ours, resources can be limited, but our students come to school each day full of curiosity, resilience, and a deep sense of community. They are creative problem-solvers, compassionate peers, and eager learners who deserve the tools that will help them thrive.

When students have the right materials, learning becomes more engaging, meaningful, and accessible.

Dry erase supplies and markers allow for interactive lessons that invite participation and boost confidence. Quality pens and binders help students take ownership of their writing and stay organized. Wobble cushions give students the choice to move in a way that helps them focus—something especially important during long learning blocks. Laminating materials preserve hands-on tools we use again and again, and a Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT) gift card will help us access thoughtfully designed resources to meet a wide range of learning needs.

Every item we’re requesting has a purpose in helping our classroom run more efficiently, creatively, and equitably. Your support helps remove barriers and brings joy to learning for students who give their best every single day. By contributing to this project, you're not just supplying materials—you’re investing in the success of tomorrow’s thinkers, right here in our rural community.
