My Project

I am a new teacher who needs supplies for my classroom. I will be in my new classroom in August 2024. My goal is to create flexible seating for all my students to learn and meet all the needs of my students. I will use all these supplies to create a welcoming and positive place for all students. I want to make sure my students have the tools to be successful and learn. All students deserve options and it will be important to me to allow different options for them.

Ms. Shirey will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 27.
