My Project

I love everything about my students! They are from low-income and single-parent families! I want to give them the opportunity to succeed by offering them tools to enhance learning. Materials such as headphones, books, and furniture are hard to purchase through our program.

I often have to use my personal income to purchase needed items for my classroom.

The students will have individual learning time with the headphones. This will be used in centers. The table and chairs will be in a space where they can work and communicate with each other.
