Focused Scholars Find Success

Help me give my students items to maintain their focus - snacks, fidgets, and privacy shields all help students stay focused and on task.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ochoa-Bardwell's classroom raised $750

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

Students with disabilities at my school need extra support to stay focused in school.

Staying focused is not easy; fidgets, snacks, and privacy shields all help students stay engaged and learning in the classroom.

Making sure students are well-fed and can focus is essential to helping students progress in school. The snacks will help students be able to stay energized during school. The fidget toys will help students with impulsive behaviors stay focused so they can do their best. The privacy shields will help students ignore distractions and feel safe in the classroom.
