My Project

As a dedicated middle school math teacher, I strive to create a welcoming and productive learning environment where every student can thrive. Many of my students come to school without the basic supplies they need—like pencils, notebooks, folders, and calculators—which can limit their ability to fully engage in class.

Your support will help provide these essential tools so my students can focus on learning, problem-solving, and building confidence in math.

With your generosity, we’ll be able to remove unnecessary barriers and create a space where every student feels prepared and valued.

Thank you for helping us build a stronger, more equitable classroom community!

With gratitude,

Ms. Reynolds Henry Kirksey Middle School Grades 6-8
