A Warm and Clean Welcome

Help me give my students snacks, toys, and cleaning supplies to help the classroom environment

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ketcham's classroom raised $491

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach high school students from diverse backgrounds. I have anywhere from freshmen to seniors.

My students are filled with energy and truly inspire me to learn as much about technology with them.

My students mean so much to me and I love watching them be leaders at school and in the community.

My Project

I am always looking for ways to make sure my high school students' needs are met by having an inviting and warm classroom. I also like to provide snacks and candy to those who need food or are struggling to focus.

The snacks are to help the kids who might have skipped breakfast or stomachs won't stop growling.

The candy and fidgets are to help keep my students focused.

The power strips and lighting are to allow softer lighting and environment into my classroom.

The cleaning supplies are to help keep the room clean.
