My Project

I am the teacher of 29 energetic and remarkable 6th-grade students! Each morning my students walk through the door and are greeted with new opportunities to learn and be successful. My students are very creative and, as their teacher, I do my best to foster their learning and provide opportunities to grow as individuals.

Everyone has a story.

Each of my students comes from his or her own unique situation and home life. We have an ethnically and economically diverse classroom full of eager learners and hard workers. All of my students have strengths to share, as well as room to grow academically, emotionally, and socially.

My students need essential personal care products in order to be in charge of their own self-care and personal hygiene. I am requesting Antiperspirant Deodorant, Anticavity Toothpaste, Petroleum Jelly and more! Every one of my students deserves to have his or her basic needs met. I want them to feel good, healthy, safe, and comfortable.
