My diverse group of students arrive at school each morning wearing bright smiles. Their friendly voices not only greet me, but they greet each other too. A beautiful thing to witness. It makes me so excited to start my day with them. Every morning I think, how lucky am I?
My students come to school on a quest for knowledge, all hungry to learn more!
I am truly in awe of my creative students as they are driven and highly motivated to better their own learning. Their faces light up at positive attention and praise and I try my hardest to create a safe and fun learning environment for them. School is much easier when you feel supported and I want that for my students.
My students have such diverse needs and ability levels. I want to be able to provide my students with differentiated, exciting, and engaging activities in the classroom. I enjoy using high-quality teacher-made resources from Teachers Pay Teachers in my classroom with my students. I love knowing I am not only helping my students learn and grow, but I am also supporting a fellow teacher by purchasing their handmade resources. What a wonderful blessing these gift cards would be to my students and their learning as well as myself. Thank you for your consideration.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
