FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Matheson's classroom raised $570
This project is fully funded
My Project
Every student deserves to learn in a positive environment. These students have struggles through the last several years gaining knowledge during a world filled with turmoil. In a classroom with no windows my students would love to be able to come to a class designed with them in mind. They are wonderful students who want to learn.
By donating to our project you will be able to build an inviting and engaging classroom for students to learn in. The rug will allow us a bright and soft place to gather. The light will help add more lighten to brighten up our work space. In addition the vacuum will help us to maintain cleanliness and responsibility for our classroom. The cushions will also add to options for more flexible seating. What a wonderful learning environment we would have to brighten up our little classroom.
This classroom project was brought to life by Bill Gates
