My Project

I teach an amazing group of 5th graders who work incredibly hard every day as they prepare for middle school. Our classroom is more than just a place to learn. It's a place where students discover confidence, perseverance, and a love for learning.

As we dive into rigorous reading and writing through our EL Education curriculum, I want every student to have a classroom that feels welcoming, supportive, and engaging.

Help me give my students a cozy classroom reading space with a rug and flexible seating that inspires engagement, collaboration, and a love of reading.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps create an environment where students feel valued, prepared, and excited to learn. Thank you for investing in my students and helping them believe they can accomplish great things.
