Squishies One Last Time

Help me give my students Squishmallows for our last Panther Store of the school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Escoto's classroom raised $191

My Project

Our students have worked hard all year to earn Panther Bucks to shop our Panther Store each month. The school year is winding down and we're looking to stock our Panther Store for the last time with lots of items that the students will be working hard to earn. We have been testing for our state assessments the last few weeks and the next two weeks will be our MAP and iReady assessments. Students that make growth on their tests earn extra Panther Bucks to spend and additional prizes.

Squishmallows are not only trendy and fun, but they also offer a comforting, sensory-friendly reward that students can use both at school and home.

These plush rewards will be a hit with all students and give them something meaningful to remember their hard work this year. We are requesting a variety Squishmallows to stock our Panther Store for its final run this school year. Having a range of characters and colors will give students the joy of choosing a Squishmallow that speaks to them, making the reward feel even more personal.
