Community Service With a Smile at Our School

Help me give my students the tools to provide community service to teachers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Espie's classroom raised $766

This project is fully funded

My Project

My seventh and eighth grade students are happiest when they are helping teachers by providing community service at their school.

All students gain self confidence when they are recognized as contributing members of their society.

Often times, many teachers need a hand in their class putting up hooks, or making sure a desk is level for students to use. These tools will allow students to help teachers in their classrooms by hanging up hooks or cleaning their classroom with the vacuum attachment for the drill.

Allowing my students to offer community service to their teachers and school community by using these simple tools will help them gain life long skills to become more successful later in life.

When the students are done with providing community service to teachers, they can build their own community using the arcade basketball to celebrate each other by playing a quick game of basketball shooting skills.

My goals for this project is to allow students to shine by providing community service and having fun while also learning general life skills.
