Autograph Time Is Almost Here

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finocchiaro's classroom raised $178

My Project

I teach First Grade students at a Title I school in Florida, where 100% of our students receive complementary breakfast and lunch. Despite many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to know EVERYTHING!

Friends matter to First Grade students and having a present that is autographed by them means the world!

I want my students to leave First Grade knowing that the friends they made this year will last a lifetime! These autograph balls will not only allow them to have fun at home, but will be a reminder of the friendships they made. I need your help in making this dream come true, thank you for your support in helping my First Graders feel special.
