We Need Basic Supplies

Help me give my students the supplies they need in order to succeed in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leigon's classroom raised $357

This project is fully funded

My Students

I love that my students are always excited to learn new things. They are always willing to try new things and I love that we can joke around with each other. My kids are special because they love to come to school and we have a mutual trust and love for one another. My kids enjoy helping anyone in need, including myself. They’re very thoughtful and I learn just as much from them as they learn from me. Our classroom culture is based on safety, respect and lifting each other up. They are the absolute best part of my job and I can’t imagine my life without them, they’re my world.

My Project

These materials will benefit my students by providing them with basic classroom needs. Students use paper and pencils everyday, but unfortunately I cannot always afford to keep buying these materials for them. They need pencils to do homework as well!

My students are capable of great things, they just need the supplies to accomplish them!

The classroom mailbox will help my students stay organized and be able to access materials more easily. The construction paper will help my students complete hands-on learning projects. I am also looking forward to doing art projects with my students in the classroom. Our current art room at school is lacking in supplies as well.

All of these materials will benefit my students tremendously!
