My Project

22 smiling and eager first grade students is what I get the honor of seeing each morning! I am the proud teacher of a group of enthusiastic, curious, and caring first graders in a culturally diverse public school in San Francisco.

The first graders in my class have a genuine love for each other and for learning.

Let's give these passionate learners a classroom environment that is clean and conducive for learning.

I am requesting a classroom oil diffuser and bottles of peppermint essential oil that I will use daily in my classroom to help with concentration and to calm the students for learning. I am also requesting a replenishment of air purifying filters to maintain our healthy classroom environment. With your help all my first graders will be able to reach their full potential!
