My Project

I love how eager my students are to learn when they feel safe, seen, and comfortable in their space. They come from diverse backgrounds and often carry big responsibilities outside of school. I want our classroom to be a place where they can focus, feel calm, and enjoy learning. The rug will give them a soft, welcoming place to gather, while the vacuum cleaner will help keep our environment clean and healthy. The math literacy items will support hands-on engagement and deepen their understanding of key math concepts in a fun, meaningful way.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
