New Year - New Classroom Materials!

Help me give my students a head start on our new school year. I am a second year teacher in a charter school that serves students pre-k to grade 8. Many of my students come from low-income homes.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gottilla's classroom raised $1,630

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am a second year teacher about to embark on another learning journey with my middle schoolers! My social studies classroom is an inclusive environment focused on high expectations and a commitment to student success. I am excited to add many consumable products that my students use each day. The space solutions cabinet will help keep materials organized.

Many of my students come from low-income families living in the Paterson area.

No matter what challenges they face outside of school they come to school each day with a renewed passion for learning.
