My Project
As a first year teacher, I am stepping into the classroom with so many ideas, so much passion, and…not many supplies. I am beyond excited to teach both World History and Psychology - subjects that help students understand not only the world around them, but also themselves. However, to bring these ideas to life, I need your help creating a classroom environment that’s organized, welcoming, and productive for learning.
My students deserve a space where they can engage in the content deeply, think critically, actively learn, and feel supported.
This means basic supplies like pencils, art supplies, posters, laptop chargers, and other necessary materials.
With your support, I can lay a strong foundation for a lifetime of teaching ahead and focus on what really matters: connecting with students and building an environment where students feel comfortable, loved, and supported.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
