New Year

Help me give my students a fun start to the new school year!

My Project

Hi! I am moving to a new school this coming year and would really like to take the joy of learning to a whole new level. Through the games on this list, I hope to encourage my students' critical thinking and cooperation.

I believe that every student should be prepared for their future and that, through games and a positive environment, they can achieve that.

I am also asking for a few items to help decorate my new classroom, such as a wall clock and string lights, to help my students feel a sense of self and worth. By asking for these few donations, I hope to create the positive impact my students deserve and help them with their high school careers.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
