My Project

I love my students deeply and believe in each of their unique potential. Every day, they come to class eager to learn, explore, and grow; despite the challenges they may face outside the classroom.

Providing students with basic school supplies is more than just handing out pencils and notebooks; it’s giving them the tools to express themselves, stay organized, and fully engage in their education.

We are requesting colored pencils, folders and copy paper.

These supplies will help create an environment where every student feels prepared, confident, and valued. With your support, I can ensure that no child falls behind simply because they don’t have what they need to succeed.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
