As a dedicated teacher in a low-income school, I strive to create a positive and engaging classroom environment where all students feel motivated to succeed. My students face many challenges outside of school, and I want to provide them with the encouragement and support they need inside the classroom. That’s why I’m seeking funding for snacks, games, and raffle ticket prizes. These items will be used to promote good behavior, effort, and participation through a classroom rewards system. Snacks offer comfort and fuel growing minds, while games provide fun, social opportunities that build classroom community. Raffle prizes give students something exciting to work toward, reinforcing positive behavior and academic progress. These resources will go a long way in supporting my students' emotional and academic growth. With your help, I can continue to make our classroom a safe, fun, and motivating space where every child feels seen and celebrated.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
