Our school has our monthly rewards activity coming up soon. Some teachers are doing cool things like Haunted Gingerbread Houses, Tie Dye, and Rock Painting. Here are few things that teachers on my campus need in order to have a good time with the students. The most needed items for this month are: Halloween Candy Decorations, River Rocks, Graham Crackers, Glitter, Disposable Gloves, Acrylic Paint Pens, Glow in the Dark Paint, and Paint Palettes. Thank you for your sharing and caring! Our students and teachers appreciate it very much!
