Add Some Air

Help me give my students an air pump so we can inflate reward balls when we use them weekly.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Charipar's classroom raised $174

My Project

I teach roughly 90- 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. We attempt to offer rewards to students who have earned it by completing their work, being respectful, and doing their job everyday.

My students are hard working, kind and thoughtful.

They generally want to excel at whatever they are doing. I have been able to provide students with sports equipment because of this great organization. However, the issue is that many of the balls are now flat and I want the students to be able to pump up the balls so that they can enjoy their reward periods.
