Let’s Lock Up Distractions and Clear the Air for Learning!

My Project

I love how curious, thoughtful, and determined my students are. Many of them juggle responsibilities outside of school, yet they show up each day ready to learn and grow. They inspire me with their resilience and their desire to succeed, even when resources are limited. With just a little extra support, I know they can achieve even more.

This project will provide our classroom with an air purifier to ensure a healthier learning environment, a cellphone jail to limit distractions, and essential supplies like pens and pencils so every student can fully participate.

These resources may seem small, but they make a huge difference in creating a focused, equitable, and welcoming classroom where students can thrive.

With your support, we can create a space where students feel safe, prepared, and supported—both physically and academically. Your generosity helps remove small but significant barriers to learning and lets my students know that their success matters to someone beyond the classroom. Thank you for believing in them.
