My Students

Hello there! I'm a Special Education Teacher and I often find myself dipping into my very own pockets to supply my classroom with the necessary tools to help my students better learn! Overtime, supplies either get all used up or thrown out because of wear and tear. I am in need of crayons, glue, white boards and erasers, kinetic sand, fidget toys, an easel, etc. My students have a variety of needs and your generosity with go such a long way!

My Project

Hello there! My name is Emilia and I'm a Special Education Teacher in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, NY. I often have to dip into my own pockets to supply my classroom with the necessary tools to better help my students learn. Most items either get used or thrown away over time. When this happens, I frequently have to purchase items, such as pencils, crayons and glue sticks to more expensive supplies such a books and dry-erase white boards. Any donation will be so greatly appreciated by both me and my amazing students! I thank you in advance for all your help!!!!!
