My Project

As a special education teacher, I strive to create a clean, organized, and engaging environment where all my students can thrive. My students are unique and special as all their needs are so different.

To help us start the school year strong, we need basic supplies such as baby wipes, Clorox wipes, dry erase pens, staples, clips, and plastic bags.

These items may seem simple, but they play a vital role in keeping our classroom safe, functional, and ready for learning each day. Your support will make a big difference in helping to teach my students life skills, how to feel comfortable, supported, and ready to succeed.
