Fund classrooms.
Not algorithms.

A classroom camera for high school students in Child Development and Early Childhood Education courses. Kids learning to take care of kids. Fully funded by us.

Books for 9th graders tackling Shakespeare — graphic novels and a modern retelling to make Romeo and Juliet accessible for kids who'd otherwise dread it. Fully funded by us.

Weighted therapy dog, noise-cancelling headphones, and fidget tools for special education students with autism and ADHD. Sensory toys make a huge difference in our kids' lives too. Fully funded by us.

Paint and canvases for 80 middle schoolers preparing for a public art show. We fund classrooms and artists — even the ones still becoming artists. Fully funded by us.

3D printer filament for high schoolers with disabilities running a classroom micro-business. They design, print, and sell items — proceeds fund cooking and life-skills lessons.

Music and movement materials for young learners. Songs, fingerplays, and hands-on tools that help kids learn through play. Exactly the kind of thing that makes a classroom feel alive.

PE and recess equipment for PreK-2 students. Soccer balls, jump ropes, foam sports sets, and creative supplies like sidewalk chalk and scratch art. The stuff that makes recess the best part of the day.

Cleaning and organizational supplies for a learning center on Chicago's north side. The kind of behind-the-scenes stuff that keeps a classroom running but never makes the budget.

Snacks for PreK-2 students so they can focus on learning instead of hunger. The kind of thing that shouldn't need funding but does.
