A Fresh Start: Creating a Warm & Welcoming Classroom

Help me give my students a warm and welcoming back to school start!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sarah's classroom raised $297

My Project

My classroom is a second home for my students. It's where they learn, grow, make friends, and feel safe. As much as we try to keep it engaging, after a while, the walls and space begin to feel a bit tired. We think it's time for a refresh, and I need your help to bring some new energy into our classroom!

When students walk into a vibrant, thoughtfully decorated classroom, it sets the tone for learning and positivity.

A refreshed classroom environment can spark excitement, boost motivation, and make students feel proud of where they learn every day. I'm requesting bulletin board materials to welcome students back, canvas for students to decorate and hang on the wall, hooks for hanging artwork, and light covers to reduce harsh lighting.
