My Project

My goal is for every student to feel safe, valued, and happy. By creating a classroom full of bright colors, snacks, and a clean environment, they will feel happy and ready to learn! Many of my students are economically disadvantaged and do not have the resources needed to tap into their creativity outside of school. Many come from single family homes. By providing them with the supplies they need, I aim to show them how fun learning is. Their future is so bright, I want them to see that too!
