2025/2026 New School Year Environment

Help me give my students a new/fresh classroom vibe to thrive in for the upcoming year.

My Project

Next year’s class only spent a little time with me on Fly-Up Day—but in that short moment, I already felt the energy: curious minds, big personalities, and the spark of potential. That’s all I needed to know that this upcoming crew deserves a space that’s welcoming, exciting, and built just for them.

This project is all about creating a fresh new classroom vibe—something different from this year, something the new students can make their own.

I want to walk in on Day 1 and feel the difference: cozy lighting, flexible seating, engaging centers, calm spaces for focus or reset, and hands-on tools to bring learning to life.

Even though I haven’t met them fully yet, I’m preparing with love, intention, and high expectations. This setup will help my students feel safe to take risks, stay engaged in their learning, and feel proud of the space they’ll spend so much time in.

With your help, we can build something special—a classroom that feels less like a room and more like a place where we belong.
