My Project

Every student deserves a classroom where they feel motivated, supported, and ready to learn. This project will provide essential supplies to keep students energized and focused—both physically and mentally. With your help, I’ll be able to stock our classroom with snacks and small rewards to celebrate student success, organizational bins to keep materials tidy and accessible, and basic supplies like pencils to ensure no student goes without.

Incentives like treats, stickers, and small prizes help build a positive classroom culture, reinforcing good behavior, effort, and academic progress.

Organizational tools like storage bins will help maintain a neat environment where students can focus. And of course, having enough pencils ensures students are always prepared to learn.

**Items Needed:**

* Healthy snacks (granola bars, crackers, etc.)

* Small prizes (erasers, stickers, toys)

* Incentive items (treasure box goodies)

* Pencil packs

* Storage/organizational bins

Your support will go directly toward creating a more encouraging, functional, and student-centered classroom. Thank you for investing in our class.
