We Need Your Help!

Help me give my students prizes, tape, notebooks and more for a great new year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Romaniello's classroom raised $423

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a wonderful and exciting group of boys and girls, in an ICT (integrated collaborative teaching) classroom. This means that 40% of my students are in special education, and the rest are in general education.

We are a Title I school and work hard to ensure that everyone learns and succeeds.

I want them to have everything they need, and deserve to have, to make their school year exciting and fun, as well as productive and successful throughout the entire year.

My Project

My students are little ones just starting kindergarten. For some students, they have never been in a school before. I want to ensure that we have all the right supplies for a great, successful, new year. Sticky lizards and hair balls will be great prizes for the treasure chest. Notebooks will help them learn to write and give them a place to show their progress. Border will help the bulletin boards look great all year long. Please help my little ones receive these much needed materials. Kindergarten is crucial! It is the building blocks for all other grades. Please help to make the year a successful and exciting school year through the use of these materials.
