My Project

I believe it is important for my students to have a clean classroom to learn in, materials they need to complete their work and equipment to explore their dreams.

A clean classroom sets the tone at the beginning of each day.

A steamer mop will help to get the floors clean.

Paper and pencils are the basic tools many of my students do not have on a daily basis. Making sure every child has these necessities will help them write great monologues and stories.

My students could expand their ideas and stories by projecting scenery and locals on our cyclorama.

I believe every student's educational journey must include the chance to use their imaginations. This helps them become great creative problem solvers.

By funding this project, you will help to inspire tomorrow's leaders.
