My Project

Every day in school, kids are using all sorts of materials. Starting with the breakfast bar I provide if they didn't get to eat breakfast, the pencil they write their names, to having a comfortable, safe place to express emotions inside our classroom.

Each student who walks into my classroom is worthy of receiving the things they need to grow emotionally and academically.

I strive to provide every student with quality materials like a storage cart, dry-erase markers, and Post-its in my classroom. Students at our school are unlike any other, and I want to be able to give back to the students who make my job worth it!

The goal of my project is to be able to provide the things each of my students deserves, with your help.
