Ready...Set...Going Back to School!

Help me give my students essential school supplies and fidgets to help them focus.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Flanagan's classroom raised $493

This project is fully funded

My Project

Having the necessary school supplies helps students stay organized and on track and promotes a sense of responsibility and preparedness. I encourage students to take ownership of their learning by emphasizing the importance of having the necessary supplies and materials for their classes. However, there are times when my students need assistance.

Having school supplies is crucial for students to be able to learn and succeed academically.

Fidgets and stress balls will help my students that have difficulty focusing. The needed materials can increase engagement and motivation and improve academic performance. I would like to do what I can to help my students have a successful school year.
