Whiteboards and Markers

Help me give my students new whiteboards and markers for my classroom. My current boards are old and scratched. My markers are dwindling. The learning environment would be more positive with new supplies.

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Hello. My name is Mr. Boffa. I am a 6th grade math teacher at a Middle School in Southern NJ. The current whiteboards I use are scratched and old. The markers that I have students make project posters are dwindling. It would benefit my students greatly with a new class set of each of these items. My school district has low socioeconomic status which in turn makes it an underperforming, low achievement school. Having new supplies would help brighten the learning environment. I've been teaching for 13 years, and supplies like this go a long way. Thank you in advance for your contribution and support.
