Starting The Year with the Basics

Help me give my students incentives like snacks and treasure box items to help them stay motivated!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Riley's classroom raised $521

My Project

An efficiently run classroom benefits all students.

When students have the basic items needed to be successful they achieve more.

The items, such as snacks, treasure box items, and school supplies, will address basic needs and motivate students, helping them focus in class, attend regularly, and feel more confident, ultimately improving their engagement and learning outcomes. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students are equipped with the essential resources to overcome their personal challenges, increase school attendance, and improve academic success. My students are resilient, facing difficult circumstances with determination, and they have an incredible ability to persevere and grow when given the right support and opportunities.
