Hi everyone!

As I begin my second year teaching 4th grade at this incredible elementary school, I’m excited to bring back a fundraiser that truly made a difference last year. Thanks to the generosity of so many of you, we reached 72% of our goal last year, which helped transform our classroom into a more welcoming, engaging, and supportive space for learning. Your support had a real, lasting impact—it helped my students grow, feel safe, and make memories that shaped their school year in the best way.

This year, I’m hoping to go even further and reach 100% of our fundraising goal to continue creating a classroom that reflects the values of kindness, joy, and community. I’m calling this effort again: “A Classroom Built on Kindness.” It’s a reminder to my students that the kindness we put into the world comes back to us—and that people do care.

Your donations will help fund:

* Essential school supplies (pencils, scissors, glue, etc.)

* Materials for monthly and seasonal activities (Disney Day is coming back!)

* Books for our cozy classroom library

* Supplies for hands-on science projects and creative lessons

* Small incentives to reward effort, kindness, and growth

* Posters and visual reminders promoting positivity and diversity

* Classroom décor to create a space that feels warm, inviting, and inspiring

* And any unexpected needs that come up throughout the year

Last year’s contributions were not just helpful—they were fundamentally beneficial to the classroom environment and our students’ experience. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who donated and helped bring that vision to life. This year, I hope to build on that foundation and reach new heights with your support.

Thank you for believing in our classroom, our kids, and the power of kindness. Let’s make this year unforgettable—together.

Warmly,

Hana (Mrs. Syed-Khan)
