My Project

I hope this message finds you well! I'm reaching out with an important request for support in our classroom. As we strive to create the best learning environment for our students, we face ongoing challenges in providing basic snacks and cleaning supplies to ensure their well-being.

Many of our students come to class hungry, and having access to a quick snack can make all the difference in their focus and success throughout the school day.

Please help us with these much needed supplies that will help keep our students focused and healthy.

Mr. Davis Norman S Weir 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.
