My Project

As a dedicated teacher, I strive to create an engaging and productive learning environment for my students. However, like many teachers, I am often limited by budget constraints and have to use personal funds to provide the essential supplies my students need to succeed. This project will provide my students with much-needed classroom supplies such as pencils, folders, notebook paper, writing pens, and whiteboard cleaner to ensure they can fully participate in their learning and thriving.

I work with 9th grade students who are eager to learn but face financial challenges that can sometimes limit their access to basic supplies.

Having access to these supplies will allow my students to stay organized and participate more fully in daily lessons. Every student needs the ability to write, whether it’s for note-taking, assignments, or projects (pens and pencils). The folders will help students stay organized and keep their assignments and handouts in order. The notebook paper will be essential for note-taking, assignments, and creative activities, notebook paper is the foundation of written work in every subject. A clean whiteboard ensures students can clearly see lessons and actively participate. By supporting this project, you’re helping to provide the foundation for my students' academic growth and success. Together, we can make sure every child has the opportunity to learn and thrive.
