From the Windows to the Floor

Help me give my students a rug, window coverings, tension rods, and magnetic hooks to create a safe, learning space

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Richardson's classroom raised $270

This project is fully funded

My Project

As this new school year starts, I am in need of a few items to make my new classroom a safe, learning space for all who enter. My new school is big and bright with large windows that allow plenty of natural light, but sometimes we will need to dim the lights for video presentations and that means covering the windows. I am requesting curtains, tension rods, and magnet hooks to make window coverings. We also need a rug to use during independent reading or to use as a stress-free, break spot.

Inspired is how you feel when you walk through our school doors.

Our core values of academics, community, pride, and justice allow us to advocate for all within this urban neighborhood by extending compassion and partnering with families to nurture lifelong learners, critical-thinkers, and responsible citizens through STEM/STEAM, performing arts, visual arts, athletics, coding, computer science (CS), financial literacy, and social-emotional learning (SEL). We receive federal funding for programs that provide free breakfast/lunch for every student, and Title I services to economically disadvantaged individuals. Our inclusive class serves military families, gifted/talented students, ESL/ELL students, special education students, and tech-savvy students.
