Fidgets and School Supplies

Help me give my students school supplies, snacks, sensory fidgets, and stress balls.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melissa's classroom raised $795

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

This project will help kids in so many ways. We do an early day raffle for the kids to inspire them to come to school and to come to school on time. We have a box with some prizes, and it would be helpful if we can get some more prizes and some snacks to add to the box.

The school supplies will help us because we are in need of some things that we can't get.

Teachers don't get enough credit and are not paid enough to be able to help the kids on our own pay.

Thank you so much in advance.

Ms. Melissa Tenderloin Community Elementary School Grades PreK-2
