Build a Stronger Classroom for 7th Grade ELA Students

Hi, I’m Mr. Casselle, a 7th grade English Language Arts teacher in Minneapolis. Every year, my students walk into the classroom full of potential, energy, and creativity — and I want to make sure they have the tools they need to succeed.

Unfortunately, classroom budgets often fall short of what students truly need. That’s why I’m reaching out for your support. This fundraiser will help provide:

Essential supplies (notebooks, pens, folders, paper, and materials we run through quickly)

A tablet charging cart so my students can reliably access technology for writing, research, and projects

Ongoing needs throughout the year — because new challenges and opportunities always come up, and I want to meet them without hesitation

Your support makes a real difference. Even a small donation helps my students focus less on what they don’t have, and more on what they can do.

I’ve made a short video (posted above) to give you a glimpse into why this matters.

Thank you for considering a gift to our classroom. Every dollar raised goes directly toward creating a better learning environment for my students this year.
