The resources I’m requesting—ranging from pencils and ruled paper to rulers—will directly impact their ability to explore new concepts.
My goal for this project is to create a classroom with all the materials my students need to thrive.
I want them to have the confidence and resources to tackle any challenge they face, whether it's a group project or an independent task. I believe every student deserves the best tools to succeed, and with your help, we can give them the chance to reach their full potential.
What makes my students special is their incredible resilience. They face challenges head-on with a positive attitude, and their ability to persevere, learn from mistakes, and celebrate growth is truly inspiring. They remind me every day that learning isn’t just about getting the right answer, but about exploring, questioning, and growing.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
