Brain Boosters for Gifted Students

Help me give my students supplies to compete in the Gifted Olympic Games, build their brain power, and boost their creativity.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Leftwich's classroom raised $501

This project is fully funded

My Project

My favorite thing about my students is how much they love learning. They get deep satisfaction from solving challenging tasks and puzzles. These materials would provide them with more materials they can utilize to exercise their brains.

Each year, my students participate in the Gifted Olympic Games with other middle schools in the district.

Your donation would allow them to practice some of the challenges they will face in the ultimate brain games. Some of the games are Otrio, Nertz, and Tenzie. They will decorate their own sunglasses to wear as swag to the event.

Your donation would help inspire them through engaging and challenging tasks. Plus, you will be helping us earn gold metals and how satisfying is that?!
