My Project

What I love about my students is their desire to learn and play. We are a close-knit community with pride. I am honored to teach them. It makes me feel to see the excitement in their eyes. These materials will have a profound impact on their academic, physical, and emotional learning. The duffel bags will be used for students to keep their hygiene, clean clothes, and non-perishable food items in. The goal is to teach them responsibility and organizational skills.

With your help, I can be a game changer for my students who have the greatest need.
