Cultivating Community

Help me give my students the tools to become influential members of their community!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Byrd's classroom raised $384

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am extremely blessed to work with a group of students who love to help others. My students strive to put others and their community first. They are very motivated to develop and complete projects that improve their school and community.

If this project is funded, the materials will allow my students to positively impact others while also helping them develop a deeper sense of community.

The card stock, crayons, color pencils, and stickers will be used when my students are writing thank you notes for donations we have received as well as writing encouraging notes to our school and community members. Students will use the composition notebooks to brainstorm ideas and develop plans for community service projects.

The other items requested for this project will help build a sense of community in our classroom. The games and teambuilding activities will help my students work together to form a deeper bond, so they can better support each other.
