Continuing To Reach Our Potential!

Help me give my students a wall that will help calm testing jitters, and hot drinks to help motivate while studying.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Val's classroom raised $1,021

My Project

Continuing to Reach Our Potential has been made possible because of the generosity of others that gave to my first project, Reaching Our Potential, over and beyond what I could have ever dreamed would be possible. With this extra money I was able to dream bigger and add extra's that I thought I would need to put off, and pay for out of my own pocket.

With the greenery mats I would like to create a wall that will be visually calming and aid in fighting the testing jitters.

With the Keurig and drink pods I will be able to offer hot drinks to help with the motivation to keep studying. I felt a bit over the top putting the mini fridge in for a place to keep creamers and other cold drinks, but in the end felt it fit with the goal of making this a space that feels like a grownup study area. I did have to order more peel and stick paper from my first project, because I changed course on where I planned to use it and now need more.

Thank-you for considering allowing me to purchase these items with the money left over from Reaching Our Potential.
