  • Fueling Minds with Fresh Water

    Funded Sep 18, 2025

    Thank you so much for donating/funding our classroom’s “Fueling Minds with Fresh Water” project. Your generosity means more than just providing water — it means giving my students the tools to focus, learn, and thrive every single day.

    Many of my students come to school without a water bottle, and access to fresh, cold drinking water isn’t always easy.

    With you supporting our classroom project, it sends my students a powerful message — that they matter, their health matters, and their education matters. Thank you for helping us fuel young minds, one sip at a time.”

My class is a space buzzing with curiosity, creativity, and the quiet (and sometimes not-so-quiet). My students are a vibrant, diverse group of thinkers and dreamers. Whether we’re diving into classic literature, exploring current events through essays, or learning to express ourselves through poetry and storytelling, each day is a journey of growth. Some are quiet readers who come alive during discussions, a few are still learning to find their voice. They’re supported, encouraged, and seen. We’re building more than reading and writing skills ,we’re building confidence, empathy, and the ability to think critically and communicate clearly. With your support, we can provide the materials, and tools that will make this classroom a place of learning and a place of transformation. Help us create opportunities that inspire, challenge, and uplift. Thank you for believing in our students and in the power of stories.
