My Project

My students are excited to come to school daily. It brings a smile to my face each morning as each child walks in with a smile on their face and says good morning. Each child shows resilience in every aspect. My students are diligent, compassionate, and hardworking.

These students deserve the opportunity to grow using these items.

The flexible seating allows students who struggle to keep still the opportunity to move while focusing. The everyday supplies help with class work. Headphones help when working independently on their computers. They deserve more!
