My Project

I am a first and second-grade teacher in New Jersey’s second-largest, urban school district. More than half of the students in my school get free or reduced-price lunch. My school embraces a school motto that emphasizes "Respect, Accepting Others, Caring, and Excelling" in all areas. I "loop" with the same group of children and teach them for two years. My classroom is "home" to a racially, culturally, and ethnically diverse group of amazing youngsters. I am proud to be their teacher and treat this as a privilege.

This year, I am determined to set up a "Care & Comfort Closet" for my students.

The items in this closet are personal hygiene products, hair accessories, socks and underwear, gloves and snacks to take home. All of these items will be offered to the students on an as-needed basis completely free of charge. I want to create a safe space for my students where they are comfortable enough to utilize this closet to make sure they have what they need to feel great in and out of school! Thank you!
