Thankful for Thanksgiving

Help me give my students a Thanksgiving celebration to remember with their class!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rudzinski's classroom raised $284

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Although most of my students come from low-income homes or homes with limited parental school involvement, they are enthusiastic and truly come to school every day ready to learn and be an active member of our classroom community. These children see school as a consistent part of their daily lives and strive daily to make me proud. Many of the students in my class this year are in temporary housing. It breaks my heart to realize that many won’t have the opportunity to experience Thanksgiving with a feast amongst their loved ones. That is why I would like to host it in the classroom since our class is a family!

The disposable plates, utensils, napkins, and placemats are requested because we will have a feast in which children will bring main dishes from home to share with their classmates, and it will minimize messes.

The garbage bags will be used to clean up afterwards.

Each kid can pick a festive headband to wear throughout the day and create a themed turkey necklace. The various food items, including the rice and beans, fruit cups and juice boxes, will be served as part of the feast.
