A Holiday Pack to Keep Them Learning

Help me give my students reusable bags with a whiteboard, markers, ruler, deck of cards, and other school supplies to keep them learning while at home.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shadbolt's classroom raised $700

My Students

My students are wonderful, caring individuals. I have several that have challenges in the classroom with behavior and focus, but that doesn't stop them from wanting to learn. Each day my students overcome situations at home that would make most people want to crawl back into bed.

They come to class online ready for a new day knowing that they are cared for, loved, and believed in by every adult in the school.

I want to share my love of learning with these children.

My Project

My students have been home since last March. They are doing the best they can virtually, but there aren't always a lot of supplies available to them at home.

I would like to put together Christmas gifts for students that include basic supplies like a whiteboard and markers, a ruler, and pencils, so they can keep up with their work from home.

I'll also include a deck of cards with printed instructions for several games they can play with their families that will help them increase their math skills.
