My Project

Ten short years ago I started teaching at a separate facility school for students with behavioral needs. These students are the students that so many people give up on, and are ready to send out of their home school to somewhere else so they don't have to deal with them.

To everyone else they are trouble makers, to us they are just kids.

Kids that deserve to have everything that we can give them. Just this school year we changed our schedules up to allow us more classes. With more classes we can now offer an Art class where students can express themselves through art. The biggest problem is coming up with supplies.

I could really use the help in purchasing some supplies and projects for my students to compete this school year. I really appreciate all of your help and support.
