FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hamilton's classroom raised $1,262

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are incoming 6th graders to our wonderful all girls college preparatory school! They come from various areas within our city and are looking forward to a rigorous, engaging and enjoyable learning experience.

My school is designed to prepare young women for careers in STEM.

We are adamant about mentally and academically preparing our girls for careers where women may not be the dominant gender.

They are ready to work hard in a welcoming academic atmosphere. Thank you in advance for your support!

My Project

I am creating a classroom with flexible seating to allow freedom of choice, community building and a comfortable space for these young ladies to grow and learn together.

The materials will help my students discover more ways to focus and learn in a manner that works best for them.

I am starting from scratch, as I transferred from out of state, so many of my previous teaching materials and manipulatives were left at my old school. However, I want to be able to provide the same, if not a better, learning experience for the girls this school year and for the future.
