FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murray's classroom raised $165

My Project

My students are eager learners who thrive when our classroom is both exciting and comfortable. Diary of a Wimpy Kid books will spark their love for reading with relatable humor and engaging illustrations—perfect for even the most reluctant readers. A soccer ball will give students an active outlet during recess, helping them return to lessons energized and focused. These resources will bring joy to our school days and help create a positive classroom culture where students look forward to both learning and play.

To keep our space healthy and welcoming, we also need cleaning wipes and Kleenex.

These simple items make a huge difference in keeping our classroom clean, reducing absences, and ensuring students feel cared for. With your support, we can provide books that inspire, activities that build teamwork, and a safe environment where students can do their very best. Every contribution helps our classroom grow into a place where both minds and hearts can thrive.
