My Project

For a child to be successful, they need the right tools. One of these things is a warm and welcoming environment. It is a fact that the brighter and cleaner a space is the more a person wants to be in it. My goal is to have the best classroom at our school. We would love to have new desks and a chair to replace the broken items we have. We would use the couch and table for an informal place for kids to work quietly. The bookshelves are desperately needed to have a place to start a class library.
