Will Work for Food

Help me give my students some fun incentives and snacks to keep them motivated.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Decker Shipley's classroom raised $227

This project is fully funded

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

In our Title I school, many students come from low income households. Many do not come with snacks, and this greatly impacts their learning throughout the day.

My students are energetic and eager to learn which is motivating for me as a teacher and encourages me to provide them opportunities to succeed!

This project will give back to my students and will help motivate THEM to be productive members of our classroom community. The rewards and incentives will give each student motivation to work towards a fun goal while the snacks will keep their tummies full enough to work and stay focused in between meals.
