FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lavin's classroom raised $970

My Project

Our classroom is blooming with excitement as we prepare to welcome new third graders with our “Growing Sweet Minds” theme, inspired by strawberries and flowers!

To support this fresh start, we are hoping to add cheerful and functional materials to help our learning garden grow.

Classroom stools will allow for flexible seating, and a wooden paper organizer will help keep our construction paper and student work in one tidy place. Mesh organizers will neatly store headphones, while bright book bins and supply bins will make independent learning easier and more fun. Book stands will proudly display stories that inspire our sweet minds to blossom. These items will help create a welcoming, organized, and joyful space where students feel proud and eager to learn every day.
