Mrs. Oberst from Federal Way WA is requesting materials related to food, clothing & hygiene through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Sweet Rewards and Clean Water on Tap

Help me give my students sweet incentives to keep reading! When students reach their reading goal for the week, I like to reward them with candy. Also, I need a new water filter for my classroom sink.

My Project

Please help me reward my students for their hard work and also provide them with clean water to drink!

My students use the program Lexia to improve their reading skills.

The program reaches each student where they are and patches any deficits they have. I have weekly goals for students to meet, and if they do, I like to reward them with candy.

Also, our school's water is undrinkable without a filter. I have a sink in my room with a filter, but they are expensive to replace. If you could help us out with candy and a filter, we would really appreciate it!

Mrs. Oberst will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 25.
