Building Future Financiers: From Classroom to Career

Help me give my students a good start for their new year (2025-2026).

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. DeJohn's classroom raised $359

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These folders, glue sticks, pencils, and other everyday items will help the students start their new school year off with the correct tools. Having these tools will help with hands-on activities that can help them understand saving, investing and recording their finance.

My goal for this project is to make sure when the students complete my Principle, Marketing and Finance class and my Banking and Finance class, they will be prepared when they graduate and enter the business world.

Teaching three high school grades (10th, 11th and 12th grade) is a challenge in making sure that my students understand the business world and what comes along with it in their personal and business life.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
