My Project

Help my students be able to enjoy the magic of reading! I am a first year 8th grade ELA teacher in Worcester, MA. Unfortunately, I walked into a classroom this year that had completely empty bookshelves.

My students are incredibly talented, inspiring, and bright.

A lot of them face situations and come from backgrounds that no one should ever have to face. Yet, they come here every day with enthusiasm and positivity.

Reading is a very important way to grow and learn. I would love to give my students this gift.
