Help me give my students supplies and implements necessary to destress and find peace in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Keough's classroom raised $404

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

The specific items that are listed are specifically to help the students destress in stressful situations.

With these items the students will find their successes celebrated with prizes and their stress put at ease with fidget toys and stress balls.

My students are fantastic, but they are often without erasers or glue or some of the items necessary for success in the classroom. With these items the students will have the things they need to make sure they are ready for their lessons and the peace that comes from the same.

Thank you so much,

Mr. Keough

Mr. Keough Springfield Central High School Grades 9-12
