My Project

As a second year teacher, you really start to learn what works, what doesn't and what supplies you'll need from the beginning to create a welcoming, and nurturing classroom!

Please help my students start the school year off great by supplying them with the tools they'll need not only in August when they return but throughout the entire school year.

We know that students thrive in a learning community that is welcoming, inclusive, and fun! That is exactly what these items will do.

With your generous contribution, I can create a vibrant and engaging space that sparks curiosity and fosters a love for learning!
