My Project

Hello Donors! I am looking for donations to Switch-Up our Fun-Friday celebrations. Each week students work their hardest in order to earn classroom incentives such as pajama parties, pizza parties and other Friday afternoon fun activities. Students challenge themselves daily to make progress towards their weekly, monthly and annual goals. My students have expressed that another fun incentive to work towards would be getting to play video games during our Fun-Friday reward time. This is where donors could make a big difference in our classroom!

With your support I would love to get my students a Nintendo Switch to reward them for working towards their goals!

This is something the whole class would be able to use and enjoy and I believe it would keep engagement high as we near towards PSSAs and the end of our school year.
