Surprise, Surprise!

Help me give my students small prizes such as squishies and fidgets for the prize box.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Saks's classroom raised $161

My Project

I have the pleasure of working with over 50 children with speech and language disabilities. They work hard and amaze me every day with their positive attitudes.

I want to reward their positive vibes with new prizes!

I develop lessons for speech therapy that address my students’ speech and language goals written on their IEPs. Each session they earn a sticker and after four stickers they get to go in the prize box. You would be surprised at how much this motivates them. These small prizes can make a huge difference in a child’s life by motivating them to participate in therapy! Help me to stock up my prize box with items such as squishies, fidgets, spinners, and more!
