Prizes for Days

Help me give my students lots of prizes for our prize box for motivation.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alvarado's classroom raised $425

This project is fully funded

Celebrating 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

My students are excited to return to the classroom. I know they will be constantly working hard. These students are smart, enthusiastic, and engaged. They never complain and work hard in all subjects. My students love to learn and be part of the learning process.

The fidget toys, prizes, and hot chips will be a sure hit to excite my students and motivate them to continue to work even harder!

I would love to be able to reward their outstanding dedication to learning by giving them these snacks and prizes.
