Back to School Classroom Supplies

Help me give my students basic classroom supplies to let their creativity work in family and consumer sciences.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They are eager to learn new skills! My classroom is limited on the supplies we have.

My Project

Pencils, whiteboard markers, and paper are all basic supplies that we need in our classroom at the beginning of the school year. We have run low or even out of some of these supplies. We need materials to help us learn! Many times we run out of basic materials in the middle of the year.

These everyday supplies are necessary for student learning.

The students at our school work very hard to be successful. Unfortunately, they do not always have the tools they need for school. These supplies are not only needed but would help students produce work they can be proud to finish. The supplies would be used by all of my 700 students throughout the year. Please help our students continue to learn by donating basic school supplies to our classroom.
