Starfish & My Fabulous Self
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Meckstroth's classroom raised $868
This project is fully funded
My Project
Our 6th grade team at LMAAC has been scouring the library shelves for the perfect book to read with their students this year (and many more)...and the winner is Starfish by Lisa Fipps.
Help us give our students access to this amazing book about being different, bullies & the good people in life that lift you up and allow you to be your fabulous self.
This novel is written in verse and will be our 6th grade student's introduction to poetry. We would love to have 2 class sets and laminate to cover and protect the books.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
You donate directly to the teacher or project you care about and see where every dollar you give goes.
