English Is a Breeze When You Hang in There!

Help me give my students tools to get organized and motivated to succeed!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wee's classroom raised $748

My Project

Our school population includes 13 beautiful languages. We are so proud of our English Learners and the hard work they put in to succeed both in and out of the classroom. We are looking for materials to help us get and stay organized while putting in the hard work and time it takes to become fluent in English. Things like book bins for our NEPS and LEPS to organize notebooks, dividers, fun pens, and motivational stickers help us to keep going.

The snacks are because many of our students come to school hungry and need a little something until lunch.

We would love your support.

Ms. Wee Kahakai Elementary School Grades 3-5
