Classroom Wishlist is a monthly Idaho Lottery Do Good program that allows teachers to submit their classroom wishes to be fulfilled. With the help of our players, the Idaho Lottery funds up to $10,000 in classroom needs every month!
FEATURED STORY:
Congratulations to Independence Elementary School!
Classroom supplies for Kimberly Cole
Getting to help to start Independence Elementary this year is an exciting opportunity, but it also comes with many unexpected expenses. As a teacher, I am committed to creating a positive and engaging learning environment for my students, yet many classroom supplies and materials often come out of my own pocket.
Receiving lottery funds would help ease the financial burden of transitioning to a new school and setting up a classroom that supports student success. These funds could be used to purchase essential supplies, educational materials, organizational tools, and resources that help students learn and grow throughout the year.
I always work hard to ensure my students have what they need, and many of us regularly spend personal funds to fill gaps in classroom budgets. Assistance from this lottery would allow me to focus more on teaching and supporting my students rather than worrying about the costs associated with starting fresh in a new school.
This opportunity would not only benefit me but also the students I serve. A well-equipped classroom helps create a welcoming environment where students feel comfortable, engaged, and ready to learn. Every dollar would go toward helping make the school year successful for both my students and me.
Thank you for considering my application. This support would make a meaningful difference as I begin this new chapter in my teaching career and work to provide the best possible educational experience for my students.
