A Festive School Year

Help me give my students cutlery sets, tech adapters, lights, and the charging cables they need for their electronic devices for the new school year, plus I am asking for flags to add to our collection. Students love seeing their homeland's flag.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Maguire's classroom raised $348

My Project

Students learn best when they feel welcome in the classroom. This has never been more true than now during the pandemic. The items I am requesting are to bring comfort and acceptance to my new students.

The flags are from the countries where very many of my students were born.

The lights are to make the classroom festive as the seasons change. The electronics are for keeping the students' phones charged. (After all, a student can't be distracted by a phone that's being charged in the corner of the room.)

The remaining items are to replenish the supplies which make our days a little bit more enjoyable.
