My Project

Hello!

After my first year of teaching, I've picked up a ton and figured out what stuff really makes a difference in keeping the classroom lively, safe, and focused.

But, our school's seriously lacking in supplies, and a bunch of my students don't have much to bring from home either. So, I'm hoping to snag some essentials to give them a leg up. With these extra goodies, I'm confident we can boost everyone's learning and level the playing field for those who might be struggling due to a lack of resources.
