Help me give my students colorful and fun pens and keychains for class prizes.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Kaufman's classroom raised $184

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

Students love participation prizes. These fun and colorful keychains and pens have been loved as rewards and prizes by the previous students in my classes. Now we need more prizes and rewards for our class competitions.

Rewards and prizes encourage the students to try hard but also provide a physical keepsake for each student.

Please help replenish our prize pool for our in-class competitions. The wacky and fun pens are not only interesting, but they are also useful for writing in class. Thank you for encouraging my students to participate in class activities.
