My Project

I am a first-year teacher. The materials I’m requesting will make a huge difference in my students’ learning by giving them the tools they need to stay engaged and excited about lessons. Whether it’s books, supplies, or technology, these items will help them think critically, collaborate, and build confidence in their abilities.

My goal is to create a classroom environment where every student feels supported and inspired to grow.

Having the right resources will make learning hands-on and meaningful.

These students are special because of their curiosity, resilience, and enthusiasm. They deserve every opportunity to succeed.
