My Project

Our amazing students come from diverse backgrounds and have varied educational experiences. We strive to bring students together to learn not only the subject matter but also how to feel confident, work together, and become positive role models in school and in society.

It is always so exciting to create a welcoming classroom environment for students.

Making students feel comfortable and motivated will enhance learning in all subject areas throughout the day. Students will have a safe space to learn and grow together!

By receiving these motivational rewards, vibrant bulletin boards, colorful headphones, physical education equipment, soil for planting, and more, our classroom will continue to be a FUN and functional learning environment for my first graders!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.

More than a third of students from low‑income households
