3. GoFundMe Project for Next Year

As we all know, teachers have to spend a ton of money per year on school supplies. Let your teacher know you have his or her back by starting a funding page for something the classroom needs to ideally be funded by the next school year.

Teachers have the option of funding projects themselves on DonorsChoose.org, but doing the work and thinking about it for them is a super thoughtful gesture that will surely be appreciated.

Examples of good projects to fund range from everything like funding Chromebooks for the classroom to funding supplies for yoga. You know your teacher best, so you know what he or she needs most.
