Classroom Makeover

Help me give my students a classroom makeover with new bulletin boards and borders.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vercillo Hutcheon's classroom raised $369

My Project

My students have a range of disabilities including autism, physical handicaps, and developmental delays. Ninety-nine percent of the student population receive free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch. My students are inquisitive, energetic, and most importantly full of questions. They are future nurses, doctors, scientists, police, and leaders. I believe in every one of my students' future and want to provide a solid and supportive start to their education.

Each year I begin the school year with a 15 new bright eyed and ready to learn three and four-year-old students.

The beginning of the school year is so exciting and a nice warm inviting classroom is essential. Having a new bulletin board and borders in our classroom would add to the warmth and brightness of my classroom! Each year I try to use the old chalk boards to display my students work. It never sticks!! So this year I was really hoping to start the year with a new bulletin board and give the classroom a little refresher.
