My Project

New school year - new students, new mindset. Our present aging building has been given to the city, and so we're moving. The new space - a floor in the nearby high school - is in dire need of an uplift. Students thrive in a warm, inviting space - a place where my eighth-graders will feel welcomed and at home. The goal is to partner growth mindsets with an environment that embraces learning.

New paint, new supplies, decorations, and a whimsical painted wall that serves as a blackboard wall will motivate these young teens.

Your kind donations will sustain my observant scholars, who will recognize this transition as smooth, seeing that their teacher cares.

August is right around the corner, so your supplemental donation to my new classroom is so very needed and appreciated. Thanks in advance for your kind generosity
