7th & 8th Grade Math Madness!

Help me give my students a strong start to the school year. If you're able to contribute—whether it's pencils, crayons, or number lines - it would make a huge difference. Every little bit helps my students!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love my 7th and 8th grade students at Worcester East Middle because they show up each day with curiosity, resilience, and so much potential. They come from diverse backgrounds and face real challenges, yet they continue to work hard and support one another. They inspire me to be a better teacher every day. The supplies and resources in my DonorsChoose project will give them the tools they need to succeed - basic materials many of us take for granted. These community resources will help create a supportive, organized, and engaging classroom where every student has the chance to thrive and feel valued.
