My Project

My 6th students are the most amazing group of students you could ever meet. They have gone through a lot this school year.

Notebooks, pencils and folders will be essential as we are working rigorously on essay writing and preparing for standardized testing.

With the difficulty of transitioning to Middle School but also having 3 different teachers prior to my coming along. We are starting from scratch and need the basic necessities. I am hoping to be able to help them succeed.

Thank You so much for your consideration! We greatly appreciate it!
