My Project

My students are coming back to school in two weeks. My students don't typically come to school with their basic supplies. I would like to request pencils, pens, tumblers, folders and more.

My students will use the supplies daily in our reading and mathematics classroom.

They will use them during our whole group reading time, small groups instruction and independent center time. These supplies will help my students focus more on learning instead of where their classroom supplies are going to come from. This project will be a great start to our school year.

Ms. Louis Frederick Douglass Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
