A Strong Start in Room 265!

Help me give my students a strong and happy welcome to room 265!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Stefanelli's classroom raised $432

This project is fully funded

My Project

My project is geared towards welcoming my new students to room 265! The project includes large bags of candy, which are used as welcoming and motivational tools throughout the year (there is a special box where kids know I have goodies for them)! It also includes a new charging station for their smartphones, new pens for those who are forgetful, and new earbuds for working on individual tech projects!

I want to make 265 a safe space for learning!

I want my students to feel like it's more than a classroom; it's a second home! This project will help me project that feeling to my new students on day one!
