Welcome Back to School

Help me give my students flair pens, facial tissue, laminating sheets, and fresh new bulletin boards to have a successful new school year full of learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schoch's classroom raised $178

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The new bulletin board paper will be a great addition to the start of a new school year. The bulletin paper is even able to be wiped down, which is a plus. The students will be able to use the laminating sheets that will help preserve their masterpieces for those who can come in and see them hung on the bulletin boards. My students will use flair pens as writing pens to share their ideas using a writing tool that is extra special and easier to use than a pencil. I want to provide my students with Kleenex tissues when they are not feeling well rather than having to use that extremely rough bathroom napkin roll. By having these supplies available, we are setting our students up for success. Please help to provide these tools students need to support their academic progress!
