My Project

Budgets have been cut. We have new materials in the classrooms, but limited custodial staff to help maintain them.

With these cleaning items, my classroom will be a nicer place for students to come to every day.

The students in my classes work hard and deserve to come to classrooms that they are proud of. The Parent Community has been great in making sure that the students have everything they need to learn successfully; now we just need to have these Clorox wipes and fragrance refills to keep everything maintained, in good working condition and without that middle school "funky" smell.
