My Project

As a first-year high school English teacher, I’m passionate about creating a classroom that feels safe, welcoming, and organized—one where students can focus and thrive.

Many of my students face daily distractions, and a calm, structured environment can make a huge difference in their ability to learn.

This project will provide tools like an air purifier for cleaner air, a room divider for quiet reading spaces, storage solutions to reduce clutter, charging stations to keep devices ready, and a laminator and paper cutter to prepare durable materials.

Your support will help transform my classroom into a space that truly works for my students.
