My Project

As a first-year kindergarten teacher, I am excited to create a classroom filled with joy, curiosity, and discovery. Many of my students come from low-income families and have limited access to books and learning materials at home. I want to give them the strong foundation they deserve by providing tools that make learning hands-on, engaging, and fun. Your support will help spark a love of learning in my students, build their confidence, and set them on a path toward a bright and successful future. Please help in any way you can.
