Help me give my students a way to learn financial literacy and work with the community by opening a store with mugs, peppermint sticks, and hot chocolate.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Porter's classroom raised $195
This project is fully funded
My Project
Fundraising allows children to feel a sense of pride in ownership of themselves. It empowers children by giving them the ability to control their own destinies, in a sense. We wanted to fundraise through running a community school store.
My students will benefit from the experience and pride of raising funds for this unforgettable experience and the importance of community.
All the proceeds will benefit school events including an annual carnival the students look forward to all year!
This activity will make my students feel as if they are more in control of their lives.
Making personalized items such as personalized cocoa mugs as a fundraiser gives my students the opportunity to raise money for a field trip and ownership of their accomplishments. It will enable students to work with money and "customers". Learning to work with others and stepping out of the box will not only be a lesson in finance but in social and emotional health.
More than half of students from low‑income households
