My Project

School supplies are essential for students as they begin their day in the classroom, but far too often, many of them walk into class without these basics. Simple things like pencils, folders, and notebooks are more than just tools, they're the foundation for their success and organization. I want every child to feel equipped and confident as they begin their day. I also believe learning should be a fun and creative experience. Art supplies will bring their ideas to life, whether it's through personal projects like "It's me" or crafting beautiful Venetian masks. Lastly, snacks are more than just fuel-they help keep my students happy, focused, and emotionally balanced. When they have the support they need, they are more motivated, engaged, and ready to grow. My mission is to do everything within my power to make sure each student has what they need to feel safe, cared for, and excited to learn.
