My Project

Let me tell you about this awesome group of scholars! They persevered through all of the ups and downs of the pandemic and then coming back to the school building and relearning how to behave, navigate, and interact with others in the classroom and school setting.

These scholars are rockstars!

Incentives have been huge with my scholars and they love to work towards whatever awesome things lie in my classroom prize bin. These incentives continue to keep kids focused on the goal of growing their skills. With this project being funded, it will help to engage my scholars.

Ms. Leposa John B Kelly Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
