Students Need Brainpower to Stay Motivated & Learn

Help me give my students a locking storage cabinet to keep our supplies secure and the basic materials they need to keep them hydrated, germ-free, and motivated to learn!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Riedel's classroom raised $547

My Project

I love everything about my students. My ESOL (English Speakers of Other Languages) students come every day and want to learn. But like the best of us, sometimes a little motivation makes the way smoother. My students are not only learning a new language, but they are also adapting to and learning a new culture.

My students are asking for their basic needs, which many of us take for granted such as Klennex, disinfecting wipes, cups for water, and candy.

These supplies are the things that will not only help keep my students healthy and prepared to learn, but will also keep their brains hydrated and focused for learning.

I am requesting these items to allow my students to focus on meeting academic challenges without the worry of needing basic classroom supplies.

I am also requesting a locking storage cabinet to secure our classroom items.
