Super Special Education Students!

Help me give my students with the back to school supplies they need.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gallagher's classroom raised $1,000

My Project

Please help my super special needs students get off to a great start for their first year in high school! They are just beginning their freshman year and are in need of all the organizational and educational tools for a successful first year as the newbies on campus. Help them to be ready and have what it takes to be prepared from the start. They will need folders and backpacks to keep track of going from class to class and organize their many subjects. Also, motivational rewards go a long way, especially when overwhelmed with the adjustment to the higher expectations of high school.
