Supplies for Student Success!

Help me give my students the basic classroom supplies they need to help them succeed!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Risley's classroom raised $457

My Project

My project includes many essential supplies for students to use throughout the school year. Pencils to use for all subjects, whiteboard markers and sheet protectors to use during math, folders to stay organized for each subject, coloring supplies to be used for various projects, headphones for online computer work and more.

Although we do send out supply lists at the beginning of the year, often times families may not be able to afford it all so I usually get what’s needed with my own money or through donations.

Additionally many supplies I give out I let students keep to use for summer practice or to carry on to their next year, so there’s a lot that needs replenishing each year.

Student academic success should not be held back by the supplies they are able to get on their own, and I would love support in giving my students the materials they need to succeed!
