My Project

My students often don’t get the benefit of the doubt. They are told and shown that they don’t deserve “nice things” I beg to differ.

The students at Salem Middle School should have an environment that is conducive to learning.

These items will provide a welcoming environment that will help to support the emotional well being of the students. It is my goal to provide a space where they feel safe, valued, and empowered to grow academically and personally.

Students should be shown that educators care about their environment and trust them in an environment that is more than just cinder block walls.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
