Prepared for Success

Help me give my students backpacks with the necessary tools to be successful and take ownership in their learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Winsley's classroom raised $928

This project is fully funded

My Project

It's amazing the effect that having all the necessary tools to be successful has on students and their confidence as they enter the classroom. The excitement and interactions that are taking place is amazing. What better way to allow students to step into the role of a learner. The backpacks filled with a toothbrush, mouth wash, deodorants, socks and folders will help build confidence and classroom engagement. Being prepared to learn, having all the tools for learning in a backpack help every student look the part of a true scholar.

The essential tools in each backpack help ensure academic success.
