We're Ready for 1st Grade

Help me give my students a gift to move on to first grade!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rodnell's classroom raised $436

My Project

My students are bright, enthusiastic and motivated kids. They are super special because they love to learn and are always asking questions about things that are happening around them. Learning will continue and they will bloom even more in the years to come.

I want to help my students leap into their next chapter with some of the materials they need to continue to learn.

They would love to be prepared for their upcoming challenges and learning in 1st grade. I want to give each child a supply-filled backpack as gift to help them be excited about the year to come. All the materials in this project are necessary for their instruction for the upcoming year. The backpacks are a way to transport their supplies to and other needed material to and from school.
