My Project

It's been ten years, and I'm finally moving my classroom! I've asked the district to paint the walls, but they paint only one color-boring, drab, beige!

With a simple, fresh coat of paint in a nice, calming blue the whole classroom is transformed!

Blue walls create a welcoming environment that allow all my students to feel calm when learning. No one wants to learn in a stark, sterile room that feels more like a hospital that a classroom.

Please help my students have a positive classroom where they can feel ready to learn!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
