My Project

Basic materials are necessary for a day to go smoothly in the classroom. These basic materials include a pencil sharpener, paper storage for assignments, highlighters for note-taking, and multiplication cards for math centers.

As a new teacher, I am deeply committed to positively impacting my students' lives.

Please help my students get a fresh start this Fall. Our class needs the basic necessities like a pencil sharpener and notebooks for their classwork/notes. Frankly, I am struggling right now without these very basics. A lot goes into planning for 60 math and science sixth-graders. Your donation will not only help us start the school year on the right foot but also send a powerful message to my students that there are people who believe in their potential and want to invest in their future.
