Ms. Hoekstra's Class Needs Some Swag!

Help me give my students the best holiday season! I have two students who have been wearing hats with characters on them (and being picked on at recess). Help me get them some "cool" gear.

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

Earlier in the year, I was given a cricut! Well the time has come, we want to make our graduates some swag! I went to multiple Michael's stores to grab some royal blue (school color) gear and got what I could! We need some cool shirts to show off that this is our LAST year in Elementary school! We are also starting our multiplication unit and we love Hot Dots (Ms. H has some from her previous classes) but we need some more to share!

My donors choose projects always include a snack, my class always is hungry on those long days when we have the last lunch period and I do not want hunger to be the reason we can focus!
