My Project

I teach at a Title I school, and most of our families are considered low-income. These supplies will take the burden of purchasing new supplies off the families and make it so all students have the same supplies daily. I never want a student to worry if they don't have a pencil.

I work with a diverse population of students who have varying needs and benefit from interactive lessons.

The supplies I'm requesting include classroom items used to organize our supplies and display boards. This helps to keep the students on task and ready to learn. This is especially important for students with disabilities and English Language learners.

Ms. Polomsky Horizon Science Academy - Youngstwn Grades 9-12

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.
