Post Hurricane Ian Christmas for Minions!

Help me give my students some fun excitement over Christmas Break. Our town was absolutely destroyed by Hurricane Ian. My own home, along with many of my students, is unlivable due to Hurricane damage. Let's have Xmas!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pace's classroom raised $557

My Project

My home, along with many of my students' homes, was destroyed by Hurricane Ian. Our town of North Port, FL, had Hurricane Ian sit on top of us for over 10 hours inside the western eye wall of the hurricane with over 150 MPH winds. Many of these students' homes are now inhabitable due to the severity of the storm with regard to sustained winds, flood waters, etc. Please help my Minions have a slice of normalcy this holiday season and help to shine a light on humanity. These games will hopefully bring some joy to my ESE (Exceptional Student Education / Special Needs) Kindergarten students and their families as they take them home over the Christmas holiday break and spend some quality time with family and friends. Your donations will help provide a book and game for every child in our classroom.
