Inside Joke

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Frankie's classroom raised $250

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

It's that time of the year again... Indoor Recess! This can either be very rewarding, very stressful, or both!

Making indoor recess fun with a change in attitude and introducing hobbies!

Jewelry making, scrapbooking, vision boards, sewing, painting, coloring! The gift of introducing new hobbies to excite the brain and learn something new about yourself is what I cannot wait to bring to my students!

This project is specifically to get the ball rolling into jewelry making. This is craft for anyone who loves detail work, talking and gift giving

Coach Frankie Howe School of Excellence Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
