My Project

I am moving! I will be gaining a new classroom with a full roster of new students for the 2023/2024 school year. My students are kiddos with special needs who require a space that is both beautiful and organized.

I serve students with special needs from lower-income backgrounds.

My students typically live in poverty and have not had exposure to nice materials. They deserve to enjoy school and own nice materials like pencils, paper, folders, snacks, highlighters ,labels, incentives, and a clean environment. I want to provide them with a space they feel comfortable in so they are able to make progress and grow into their potential.

Mrs. Kelley Glenmount Elementary Middle School 235 Grades 3-5

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