Sublimation Lunch Sacks: A Lesson In Financial Literacy

Help me give my students the opportunity to fundraise for an educational field trip.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Norton's classroom raised $173

This project is fully funded

My Project

Fundraising allows children to feel a sense of pride in ownership of themselves. It empowers children by giving them the ability to control their own destinies, in a sense. My students will benefit from the experience and pride of raising funds for this unforgettable experience. This activity will make my students feel as if they are more in control of their lives.

Making personalized personalized neoprene lunch sacks as a fundraiser gives my students the opportunity to raise money for a field trip and ownership of their accomplishments.

It will enable students to work with money and "customers". Learning to work with others and stepping out of the box will not only be a lesson in finance but in social and emotional health.
