My Project

Every scholar is worthy of a great beginning to a new school year. Your contributions to this project would help ease the fears and anxiety of many of my students whose families just can not afford to provide all the necessary items needed for their child.

Help me fill students backpacks with basic school supplies!

Folders will be used for their homework and worksheets. The dry erase markers and erasers allow for instant feedback to questions and works to save some trees. In addition, we will learn to use sticky notes for annotations. The supplies in this project go a long way to starting the year off strong.

Mrs. Wilson Avery D Harrington 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.
