My Project

Join me in building a nurturing learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered! With your support, we'll transform our classroom into a vibrant space filled with engaging books, flexible seating options like stools and seat cushions, and a variety of learning materials and games. My goal everyday is to create a safe and welcoming classroom community. Together, we'll foster inclusivity, safety, and fun, ensuring that every child thrives and loves coming to school. Let's make a difference in their lives and create lasting memories together! Your contribution matters more than you know.

Ms. Rinaldi will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 23.
