My Project

I have the most amazing students in my school. My students are eager to learn and want to do well. However, often even motivated kids need to be motivated to learn and keep trying. Special education students need even more encouragement to learn and as a special education teacher, this is my calling. I want to make sure that all students not just my special education students have the resources that they need to make them the best students they can be. By giving my students light up LED numbers, we will motivate the students to have a successful 2025-2026 year when they come back to school in September and as the year progresses as they see this.

Students need all the reminders that they can get to keep trying and working and to stay focused and each time they see these light up numbers outside or on the stage, they will be reminded that the 2025-2026 school year is here and we need to learn.

I appreciate all the support that I get from donors like you to make sure that my students have an amazing school year and work hard to be the best students that they can be so they have big and bright futures.
