My Students

Can you imagine starting school without school supplies? In September, my students will be excited to return to school and find new backpacks fulled with school supplies just for them!

In September, I'm expecting 26 wonderfully diverse, energetic, and curious elementary students!

Our school is an inner city school with 85% of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch. Most of our students are minority students facing many challenges in their lives. You can help level the playing field by donating basic school supplies for my students to start the year feeling excited about learning!

My Project

I am requesting basic classroom supplies, such as student backpacks, clipboards, rulers, erasers, pencil sharpeners, and colored markers. Backpacks are essential for students to carry their homework to and from school. Students use clipboards to keep their work organized on their desks and to hold a daily planner that helps students learn essential time-management skills so necessary for study. I have also requested large clipboard for group projects where students make maps and work together on presentation boards. My classroom needs an mobile student paper organizer for students to keep their projects, corrected classwork, and take home notes similar to a mailbox in an office so everyone has easy access to their important papers. With these basic classroom supplies and student paper organizer, my students will start the year with the essential tools for learning in an organized classroom!

Help me get my classroom ready for September!

My students are eager to return to school and will be delighted to find their own backpack and school supplies for them to use and a well supplied classroom with organizational tools that work!
