My Project

Imagine a classroom where every day feels like a trip to the Magic Kingdom—where learning is an adventure and creativity knows no bounds! Each year I work to transform our space into a Disney-themed wonderland to inspire imagination, joy, and a love for learning.

To make this dream come true, we need your help with some magical essentials: individual pencil pouches, colorful crayon boxes, quality paintbrushes, and key organizational tools to keep everything tidy and accessible.

These supplies will not only support creativity and independence but also add a sprinkle of enchantment to our daily routines.

With your generous support, our students will have the tools they need to express themselves and stay organized—while learning in a place that feels like their own happily-ever-after. Thank you for helping us make magic happen!
