Good Enough to Eat!

Help me give my students safe storage for their lunches and beverages in our classroom

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Oliver's classroom raised $405

My Project

This project is designed to continue to help the teachers and students that I support to finish this year successfully and to have a great next year of learning.

One of the biggest obstacles we have in school is making sure the students' lunches are good enough to eat!.

This year back in in-person school, many of my families feel more comfortable sending their students to school with lunch prepared at home. having the older students we tend to eat at the last lunch shifts and so students' food sits in their backpacks for hours. By having an in-class refrigerator those students with lunch packed from home can safely store their lunch so that it is in the best condition to eat. I also want to use the laminating machine to be able to properly label shelving in the refrigerator for the students and to keep things organized around our classroom.

My students are so eager to learn. They come to school each day ready for whatever I put in front of them. In this project I’ve also requested two books that will help me make sure my lessons are aligned with the curriculum and interactive for my class and those that I support as a math coach. Making math fun and the learning hands-on and engaging for our students is of utmost importance.

This project can only happen with your generous donations. Please consider making a donation to this and other projects for our class as we strive to make learning the best experience for my students.
