What they said: "I teach ESOL to students in sixth through eighth grade. Most of my students arrived to the United States in the past two years. My students love learning, and even though they are predominantly from lower income households where they have extra duties at home to do other than being a child, it does not stop them from trying to learn as much as they can. They always try their best, and that's what matters."

What they said: "I will be teaching middle school art in a Title 1 school that hasn't had an art program in at least two years. Because of this, we are LOW on supplies. Arts teachers do not receive any extra money for supplies in my district, so my whole budget for the year is approximately $200. Any help is very much appreciated!"

What they said: "My name is Jessica and I am the fifth and sixth grade science and social studies teacher at Meadows Elementary School in Ralston, NE. Meadows is a Title 1 school, and many of our students come from families who have faced many struggles. This is why I love teaching the subjects I do. I get to immerse my students in the world around them, allow them learn about the things that they see, and give them the opportunity to learn about the things they have never seen. I appreciate your time and generosity. "

What they said: "This will be my ninth year of teaching. I teach in a rural, Title 1 school. I began my career teaching littles, but I had the opportunity to move up to sixth grade math, and I absolutely love it. Most of the things I need for day to day operations are provided for me by my district. Some things just aren’t, though. Art supplies (I also teach geography), bulk supplies to share, decorations, storage solutions, and many other things come out of my own pocket. My goal as a teacher is instill a love of learning, and that means solid relationships, respect, and some FUN!"

What they said: "My class is sixth through eighth grade special education and life skills in Philadelphia, PA. My students have been tossed around from teacher to teacher in the last few years, as the school couldn’t find anyone to stay longer than one year with the program. When I accepted the job, it was with the contingency that I could create my own curriculum and bring resources into the school myself. This is because when I toured the classroom, the only books were first grade level, for sixth through eighth graders!! The materials were so below age appropriate, and the few books they did have were torn and worn down. Every one of my students gets school meals, and most often their winter clothes, backpacks, and notebooks are school-provided. My only goal coming into this school year is to bring these students into a classroom that is stocked with books, materials, games, toys, and more. I want to show these students that I have invested in them because they deserve that. They deserve to see that their teacher is rooting for their success and that their classroom reflects that. My community has been incredible in donating supplies, but the neighborhood I am in struggles with poverty and opioid addiction — most resources go to keeping the neighborhood safe and keeping schools open. I am so excited to get into this program and build it up from where it is now. These kids have been shuffled through a system that has failed them and underestimated their ability due to their differences. My classroom will be a place where they can invest in themselves and their education and know that they are valued and trusted with materials and resources of their own!"

What they said: "I am going into year 14 of teaching, the last nine years being in sixth grade, which I love! In my district, sixth grade is considered elementary so I teach all subjects. My school is in an area where we provide a lot of free and reduced resources. Many of my classroom items have been well loved and are needing to be replaced. I try to make my room a safe space and a community that kids feel comfortable and welcomed into each day. Thank you for your help!"

What they said: "I teach seventh and eighth grade ELA in Sparks, Nevada at an absolutely incredible school. My students are so hard working, and absolutely deserve to have all of the materials to make learning FUN again! This year I will have the same students as I did last year, and hope to continue to show them the joy that comes from learning, even in spite of all the challenges in our current world. They are very much still kids, and I hope to use these materials to help them soak up these wonderful years."
