My Project

"Help me give my students a meaningful way to build responsibility, independence, and pride in their daily work. Through our pencil check and points reward system, students will learn that small, consistent actions — like being prepared and taking care of their materials — lead to big successes. Your support will help provide fun and motivating rewards that celebrate their effort, responsibility, and growth. Every pencil they remember, every point they earn, is a step toward building lifelong habits of organization, accountability, and self-confidence. Thank you for helping me teach lessons that will last far beyond this school year.
