The MEF Wishlist is a way for our SCM teachers and staff to receive items that are needed to aid them in helping our SCM students have the BEST education possible. This Wishlist is for requests of $200 or less. It may be used as many times a year as a need arises for a teacher or staff member.
You can grant the entire wish or a portion of the wish.
Teachers and staff can make a wishlist request anytime during the year.
Young Authors
Request from: Stephanie Johnson 2nd Grade – LaSalle Elementary School
I would like to get my students primary composition books so all of their writing is in a journal to show their progress. I would also like to get my students private offices so they can better focus on their learning at times during the day.

Flexible 3-Ring Binder Packs
Request from: Jennifer Hock – 8th Grade – John Young Middle School
Students in my class will be exploring many careers in education. As we explore together, I would like for them to create an Educational Careers Portfolio. Their portfolio will include, but not limited to, information about the history of education and various careers in the scope of education. Their portfolio will also include practice lesson plans, learning intentions, success criteria, and bell ringers/exit activities that they may create for various educational levels, as well as building their own personal experience. This portfolio could include, but not limited to, their own starting resume that they can begin to add their new field experience and knowledge to.

Science of Reading
Request from: Jessica Wolfe – 3rd Grade – Emmons Elementary School
At times, the third grade teachers need additional teaching resources to teach different skills such as IREAD 3 review skills, phonic skills, high interest fiction pieces, high interest nonfiction pieces, and craft ideas related to concepts studied in class. We use Teachers Pay Teachers to buy these resources. At times, we spend anywhere from $10 to $99 per resource to use in our classrooms. Having funding to purchase these items for our students would be a huge help!

With a Little Help From a Friend
Request from: Jackie Miller – 2nd Grade – Emmons Elementary School
This year, I would like to introduce “learning companions” to my students. Each student will have a companion throughout the year to form a bond with. Every Friday, our “learning companions” will come out to be read to, inspire writing, and reinforce social emotional skills learned from the Leader in Me curriculum. The stuffed animals will also be used for several activities during our animal habitat unit.

Magnetic Math
Request from: Tara Francis – 2nd Grade – Hums Elementary School
In our classroom, we have a magnetic math wall that is multi-purpose. Some manipulatives are always on display as a reminder for students, and some are used for small group time. We want to add a few key pieces to our math wall that will be interactive for us! We also like a comfy sitting spot while working in small groups, so we added some cushions to our wish list as well!

Calming Corner
Request from: Tara Francis – 2nd Grade – Hums Elementary School
I want to provide my students with a way to cope with their emotions throughout the day independently. I want to have tools for my students to use to regulate their big feelings in the classroom. I believe having a safe, calm area for students to take a break right inside the classroom is important. These calming tools will be available for my students throughout the classroom day.
