Help me give my students a summer surprise that helps them learn while having fun all summer long!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barrist's classroom raised $416

My Project

This school year, my student have shown me immense progress in their learning, social skills, and overall goal achievement! I want to be able to reward this progress with a summer gift for my students that both gives them fun things to play with over the summer and a few educational games to keep their brains working throughout the summer!

These gifts will show my students how proud I am of them, get them excited for the summer, and ready to come back to school in August.

Thank you donors so much in advance for your very generous donations. My students will be so surprised in June when this project is funded and they can enjoy their summer toys as well as new learning activities.
