My Project

My students are so special to me. They are funny, thoughtful, and extremely helpful. I love how they can adapt and make the best out of any situation. Dealing with the learning curve from having to do remote learning and then entering back into school with little to no color made school feel a little cold at times. I know we’ve all had our worlds turned upside down these past few years, because of COVID, but I feel like our kids struggled the most. And now that we’re officially back I would love to bring some color and fun back into school.

By donating to our project, you will not only be bringing smiles to our students faces, but a little more normalcy to their lives.

You will also be changing their opinions on the way learning could be, which will ultimately determine how they will view learning throughout their school careers.

I think having these materials to brighten up our learning spaces will have students happy and eager to come to school. It has always been my top priority to have my students in a safe and loving environment, but to be in a happy one is always the goal too.
