My Project

My students are hardworking, determined, and full of potential. They show up every day ready to learn, collaborate, and challenge themselves to grow academically and personally. To support their learning, I am requesting essential classroom supplies, such as paper, pencils, pens, glue, sticky notes, Expo markers, and more — items that are necessary for daily lessons, activities, and organization. When students have access to these resources, they can focus on their education without the added stress of not having what they need to succeed.

In addition, a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to access engaging, high-quality instructional materials to support different learning styles and keep students motivated.

My goal is to create a well-equipped and inspiring classroom environment where every student feels supported and encouraged. My students are special because of their perseverance and love for learning, and with your generosity, I can ensure they have the tools they need to make the most of their educational journey. Thank you for helping me empower them to succeed!
