My Project

I am employed at a school that is a 200-day school, and the demand for supplies is critical. My students and their families will not have sufficient time to get supplies for school for their children which puts teachers in a bind.

This project will help with getting certain things that parents can't provide.

The paper and laminating sheets are for me to be prepared with handouts and different activities that can be done in class. The tissues, wipes, and cleaning solution will help keep the classroom clean and ready for allergy and cold season.

Ms. Holmes Oak Grove - Bellemeade 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.
