My Project

Twenty-two smiling and eager first grade students is what I get the honor of seeing each morning! I am the proud teacher of a group of enthusiastic, curious, and caring first graders in a culturally diverse public school in San Francisco.

The students in my class are not just classmates for a year, but become family for life.

The first graders in my class have a genuine love for each other and for learning. Let's give these passionate learners the basics that they will need to have a successful school year.

I am requesting basic cleaning like wipes and hygiene supplies for my first graders so they can start their school year healthy. I am also requesting a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to help me supplement curriculum throughout the year. With your help, all my first graders will be able to reach their full potential!
