Hello! My name is Ben Chronister and I teach English at a high school in Cleveland. My students are amazing and I aim to provide them with whatever they need to be successful in school and beyond.

For the last few school years, I've used a variety of methods to request assistance with supplying my classroom. Each time, I've used a different funding method to address comments and suggestions from the prior year. Last year's Amazon wishlist was very successful, but several people mentioned to me that they would prefer an option that allows them to provide a specific amount of money as opposed to having to choose between providing the entire price of a specific item or not being able to assist at all. To meet that request, I'm using this platform.

Items on my shopping list this year include:

• Printer supplies (toner and a replacement drum)
• Markers (colors and Sharpies)
• Scissors
• Colored Pencils
• Wall Art
• A metric TON of tissues
• Moisturizing hand sanitizer
• Various toiletries for discrete distribution to those in need
• Non-perishable snacks
• Bandaids
• A decent stapler
• Various small handtools
• Cleaning supplies

. . . and surely a great many other things that currently escape me.

If you have the dollars to share and are willing to do so, please know that I sincerely appreciate your assistance. Each year, I inevitably end up spending a fair amount out of my own pocket (as most teachers do) and every bit you provide helps immensely. My students appreciate your kindness as well, being all the more prepared and cared for by the loving community of friends and family I'm lucky to have met and connected with over the years.
