Snacking Towards a Cleaner Classroom

Help me give my students sanitizer spray, wipes and a snack boost that they need while studying in a clean and fresh environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Whitfield's classroom raised $331

My Project

I am requesting funding for the items that I have selected because I feel that having a clean classroom will help the students prepare and focus better.

A clean and fresh classroom and a small snack can help all students get through the day.

The snack is an essential to learning and teaching. Taking a break and letting the students know that snack time is a time for them to take a break, wind down, to focus and prepare for the remainder of the school day.
