My Project

My students give their best everyday and a great way to continue to motivate them to do so is having Fun Friday. Another positive push is celebrating the mini milestones in the classroom like growth. What better way to do that then having party favors, snacks, toys and fidget gadgets? I am asking for help to add party favors and wipes for potting training, treasure chest toys, holiday and birthday favors, snacks, birthday wear, and fidget toys. Fun Friday can positively impact their social skills, teamwork abilities, and overall sense of belonging within the school community. When students are happier and enjoying themselves, it can create a more uplifting atmosphere for everyone. This positive morale can have a ripple effect on their overall academic performance and attitude toward learning. Lastly, I am asking for double sided stick tape, jumbo crayons, and printer ink for classroom visuals and supplies.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
