My Project

I am a first and second grade teacher in New Jersey’s second-largest, urban school district. More than half of the students in my school get free or reduced-price lunch. My school embraces a school motto that emphasizes "Respect, Accepting Others, Caring, and Excelling" in all areas. I "loop" with the same group of children and teach them for two years. My classroom is "home" to a racially, culturally, and ethnically diverse group of amazing youngsters. I am proud to be their teacher and treat this as a privilege.

We are in need of comfortable cushion spots for students to utilize as a flexible seating option when students do not need to work at their desks.

Students currently have access to just 4 cushions. This project will ensure each student has a cushion should they want to use it!
