My Project

This will be my first year as a classroom teacher; these supplies will help students' growth, showcase their ideas, and provide opportunities for success. I want to ensure that the students' needs are met, and I feel these supplies will do so.

I want the best start for my new students.

I feel that these supplies will showcase learning. My goal with this project is to ensure that students are prepared for the school year. By being a new classroom teacher, I am starting from zero, and I am reaching out to you for help.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
