Never Giving Up

Help me give my students the materials needed to keep on engaging in learning. The snacks, incentives, and accessories here will help eliminate reasons students "give up" on their learning.

My Project

Through Donors Choose and wonderful donors like you, I've been able to get the supplies necessary to help empower my students to be modern thinkers. With access to new technology and basic supplies, students are able to engage in learning.

Every day through, difficulties outside of the classroom - hunger, distractions, and stress - can get in the way of students being successful and leads to them giving up.

These supplies, like snacks, incentive toys, fidget spinners, and more, will help eliminate those problems for students - at least inside our math classroom. The hand vacuum will allow for quick and easy clean up after students eat a snack and then need their table to do work.

Now that our room is equipped to learn, we need to be equipped to never give up. Thank you for considering donating to this project and helping students to focus on learning in a safe and happy environment.
