My Project
Every day, I walk into my 7th grade science classroom with the hope of giving my students not just an education, but a place where they feel safe, seen, and inspired. Many of my students come from backgrounds where school is one of the few stable places they can count on. That’s why I’m asking for help with the essentials—Clorox wipes to keep our classroom clean and healthy, Expo markers to make lessons clear and interactive, and basic supplies like pencils, markers, colored pencils, and construction paper so students can bring their creativity to life. These simple items make a powerful difference. With your support, I can provide a learning space that is welcoming, engaging, and full of opportunities for every student to thrive.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
