My Project

Greetings, everyone,

By generously supporting this project, you will be contributing to providing essential resources for my students, ensuring a successful academic year.

As a valued donor, you will be helping us acquire books that promote social-emotional learning and celebrate diversity. Your support will also provide materials to aid students in understanding and processing their emotions, which will be utilized in our calm corner. Furthermore, you will be providing engaging, hands-on learning materials to accommodate diverse learning styles. Ultimately, your contribution will furnish our classroom with the necessary resources to support each subject I will be teaching, allowing students to learn alongside me. Most importantly, you will be helping us cultivate a secure and nurturing learning environment for our classroom community.

Ms. Shumate Bella Vista Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
