The Home Stretch

Help me give my students supplies and fuel to end the 5th quarter of learning strong!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Berry's classroom raised $992

This project is fully funded

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting will motivate my scholars as we are moving through the 5th quarter of school. Although the school year is coming to an end I still would like to give them some energy and reinforce a positive environment that we've had since the beginning of the school year. It is important that I keep my scholars engaged to learn and show up as their best selves. With all the daily trials and tribulations my scholars encounter before coming to school, I want my classroom to always be the place where they can get all they need. This includes love, food, patience, encouragement, and anything else
