My Project

Hello! My name is Miss Haggerty and this June I will be finishing my first year of teaching in first grade! I have absolutely loved watching my first graders learn and grow throughout this year. I feel as though I have a special connection to the school district in which I teach in. Having two generations of family that grew up in the town, as well as having worked as an intern in the school during my master's year, I have grown such a special connection to my school and its students.

Please consider donating to my project to help fund the basics needed for my first graders to flourish!

Items such as an easel, pencil grips, and dry-erase markers will help support my students as writers. These are basic supplies that every classroom needs.
