Starting Strong in Room 265!

Help me give my students a strong start in the 2023 / 2024 year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Stefanelli's classroom raised $307

This project is fully funded

My Project

It is always my goal for new students to enter room 265 and be overwhelmed by the amount of opportunity there is to be successful. With walls covered in motivation posters and novels, charging stations to keep their phones out of their hands, and treats that reward them for their work, you can help 100+ students smile when they begin school in two weeks!

Freshmen year is stressful; let's help relieve the stress just a bit!

It's my goal to make my kids look forward to learning in room 265. In fact, my goal is to make them feel so comfortable and motivated, they forget they are learning!

Thank you for all your help!
