I’m a 1st grade teacher working in a low-income community, and I believe every child deserves a beautiful space to grow, learn, and feel loved. My students face many challenges outside of school, so I want our classroom to be a place of peace, creativity, and joy. With your help, I’m hoping to create a welcoming classroom filled with tools that support organization, hands-on learning, and comfort from flexible seating and reading nooks to bright visuals and supplies that make learning fun. Your support—whether it’s donating, sharing my project, or keeping us in prayer—means so much. It truly takes a village.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
