I am a special education teacher at Cranford High School.  For the 4th year in a row, I have organized a huge event that lasts for about 9 weeks.  It is called "Let's Make it Through 4th Marking Period" project.  Over the course of the last marking period, all my students work hard each day to earn points by earning A's and B's on tests, coming in after school to practice math, coming to school professionally dressed, etc.  

At the end of the project, each student's points will translate into raffle tickets and they have the privilege of attending a tricky tray style raffle event at the school.  

I am hoping to gather enough donations to motivate the students to work extremely hard, specifically prizes that get them out of the house and active, interacting with friends and family.
