College T-Shirts for 5th Grade

The Description

With these funds I will...purchase college inspired t-shirts for each of my 40 5th grade students. These t-shirts will be given to my students to be worn on Fridays at school in order to encourage them to keep their eyes on the prize (college) throughout this next semester and all of their semesters of school following. I want my students to believe in themselves and see themselves going to college in a few years. I think if they wear a shirt that says they will be in college, they will start to feel it and eventually believe in it. 

 

I plan to purchase the shirts from customink.com. The shirts will say "college bound" on the front and "class of 2027" on the back.

 

These shirts will mean a lot to my students. I want them to believe in education and the possibilities that college can bring into their lives! 

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will find another way to raise the money for these shirts. I have already determined that these shirts are a gift I wish to give to my students and I will make it happen someway.

About the Creator

My name is Jessie Helms, Ms. Helms to my students. This is my 4th year teaching in Dallas ISD. I am currently teaching 5th grade math at Blanton Elementary located in Pleasant Grove, a part of Dallas, Texas, where 93% of the students are considered economically disadvantaged. The students I teach are what drive my passion in the classroom every day. Their stories, resiliency, and hearts push me to be a better person and teacher and I work each day to provide them with the best education that I know they each deserve.
