Advisory Readiness

Help me give my students the supplies needed to succeed in advisory and learn study skills, financial literacy, and social skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Oeckel's classroom raised $386

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project is designed to support students in my new advisory class. These supplies will help transform a math classroom into a safe space for learning, academic growth, and financial literacy.

Advisory is a program designed to partner students up with a teacher for their entire high school career - and these supplies will give students the ability to engage in this endeavor.

The flexible seating, storage, and snacks will help students feel comfortable and be focused in this 4-year journey!

Advisory will include lessons on financial literacy, study habits, and conflict resolution.
