Ms. Thomas is a kindergarten teacher at Independence Elementary in Aurora, Colorado

She has taught there for the past eight years, serving at a Title I school where many of her students come from low-income families. Teaching in this community is incredibly rewarding, but it also comes with challenges, as resources are often limited. Clearing her Amazon wish list would be life-changing for my classroom. It would provide essential supplies that directly support her students learning and give them the tools they need to thrive.

 Every pencil, book, and learning material would help my students achieve their fullest potential and make our classroom a place where curiosity and success can flourish. These supplies also help them become excited to come to school and learn. Clearing her list would directly impact dozens of bright, eager young learners who deserve every opportunity to succeed.
