Excellent Grades Deserve Color Part 1

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finocchiaro's classroom raised $178

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach first grade students at a Title I school in Florida, where one hundred percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They are all looking forward to this last quarter of the school year and are working hard to do their best and earn End of the Year Award Certificates.

This project will bring colored envelopes to "house" the students End of the Year Award Certificates!

I am requesting different colors of envelopes so that teachers and staff can quickly locate which classroom on my grade level the Award Envelopes belong to. The students have worked so hard to earn the Award Certificates and I would hate if they were left behind after the Award Ceremony. Thank you for taking the time to consider my project for the grade level! Your support is truly appreciated for all of our Firsties!
