Scissors and Snacks

Help me give my students quality scissors for growing pre-teen bodies and snacks to fuel that growth.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Burtenshaw's classroom raised $258

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

The snacks requested will help my students stay focused throughout day. They have an early lunch and special area classes at the end of the day. With snacks we can re-fuel their brain and get them ready for more learning.

As these students are in 6th grade, their bodies are growing and changing.

The school scissors that worked in kinder no longer fit their hands. Please help me provide quality scissors for students that are able to handle and need larger scissors.

These students are a great group of kids that need a cheerleader to help them be ready for the challenges that will come during the school year. Help this cheerleader encourage and support these awesome kids!
