My Project

This year we need a little more help stocking our classroom. Last year we faced difficulties during the school year. We had many challenges like, having to move schools during the school year, a whole administrative sweep, and a delay in teacher pay.

As an educator I always look for different ways to create a warm welcoming environment for my scholars.

I love to stock my classroom with juices, water and snacks for kids who aren’t able to bring any to school. The fridge and snack will mean a lot to a child parent who couldn’t provide their child with a snack. If you are able to help, I’d be so grateful for any support. Every little thing helps and I know it would mean the world to me and my scholars when they walk in that classroom on the first day of school.
