The Heart Of The Matter

Help me give my students some fun incentives, aprons for our class business and a craft for Valentine's Day.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Phillips's classroom raised $168

My Project

I am asking for you generous donors to give my class the items we need for the middle of the school year. We need some fun incentives to keep our class going after they get back from the holidays. They will be spending some well-deserved time at home, feeling the love from their families, and then they need to get back into the program when they return. The prizes will give them the push they need.

We also need aprons for our class business to look professional and uniform.

The aprons will be our school colors and we will add our logo to them to personalize them. The business is at the heart of our program for the young adults in my room. I would also like to have a fun and unique craft for Valentine's Day to show their affection for a loved one at home!
