My students are really lovely kids—hardworking, funny, and bright. They live in a very disadvantaged community, where resources are scarce and teachers have to work really hard to acquire supplies and plan enrichment activities.
My students do their best to comply with all that we require of them, which means a large amount of test prep and a small amount of recess.
As their teacher, I owe it to them to try to bring fun and creativity to our school year to the best of my ability.
Many of my students have special needs, ranging from learning differences to emotional disturbances, and it's important to me to make learning fun and enjoyable for them.
My Project
My students love to hold fundraisers to help us pay for exciting senior events like the senior trip and senior dance, as well as helping out with costs of events for other grades. We hold bake sales and craft sales and other events to raise money. This cash register and crafting supplies will allow us to raise even more money!
Fundraisers are a great way for students to take ownership of their experiences and earn extra fun!
The mugs and tumblers will be decorated with our school logo and sold when we return to school in September, and the cash register will be used to process the sales!
