My Project

My students come to me with difficult challenges each day. Providing them a welcome space and environment will put them at ease to help support their social and emotional wellbeing and give them their best opportunity to be ready to learn.

Middle school is hard enough and first impressions mean everything.

Giving them a place that shows we care about them is so important for their growth and longevity in education. Being able to paint the room and provide soft lighting will create the fresh start for them that they all need and deserve.
