My Project

As the school year is quickly coming to an end, I am thinking ahead to next school year! I work in a low-income district, and students do not have the means to buy basic school supplies that they will need in order for them to stay organized and have a successful school year. They need supplies such as markers, pens, binders, highlighters, and, of course, Kleenex for when the kids get the sniffles.

Let's start the new year off right!

Please consider helping my special education students be successful. With your help, you are helping not only me in my class but also other students outside of my classroom. Your generosity will help enhance the learning lives of these students who already have so much else to worry about. These special education students won't have to worry about not being able to provide the necessities needed to be successful in the learning environment. Thank you!

Mrs. Meyer
Grades 6-8
