“Champions Need Cheer: Donate to Empower Students”

Help me give my students prize donations to help motivate and reward our hardworking students. Your support would go a long way in encouraging positive behavior and academic effort.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pettway's classroom raised $176

My Project

Every student has the potential to be a champion with the right support, encouragement, and motivation. In my class, I work hard to create a positive learning environment where students feel seen, supported, and inspired to succeed. “Champions Need Cheer” is my way of rewarding my students not just for academic achievement, but for effort, growth, good character, and resilience. I’m asking for donations of prizes and other motivational items to use in weekly raffles, classroom incentives, and student celebrations.

Your donations serve as both tools and tokens of belief—they remind students that their hard work matters and that someone is cheering them on every step of the way.

Whether it’s a balloon or a medal each item becomes part of a bigger message: You can do this, and we believe in you.

Together, we can build a culture of encouragement and achievement.
