My Students

The students at my school are amazing. I know you probably hear or read this a lot, but seriously, my students are phenomenal. They attend a K-12 public school in the middle of New York City and are always ready to learn!

Our students are creative, innovative, and full of life, but this is only part of what makes them so phenomenal.

They are eager to learn not only their subjects in school but they also want to know more about the world around them.

My Project

These books will become part of an ever growing classroom library. When we were learning in person there was nothing we liked more than to be able to match up students with the perfect book. However, this year our library is become remote due to our school recently moving to 100% virtual instruction.

When students are stuck at home, receiving a book in the mail is sure to make their days slightly better.

With the pens I will be able to address the packages that are being sent out without worrying when I might mess something up--addressing with ease!
