My Project

My students are resilient, creative, and full of curiosity. Despite being displaced by a recent tornado, they continue to show up each day with determination and a willingness to learn. Their strength and spirit in the face of uncertainty inspire me.

Right now, we are rebuilding not just our space, but our sense of stability and routine.

In our STEM class, students are encouraged to think critically, solve problems, and express their ideas through creative projects and technology. The materials I’m requesting scissors, markers, earphones, and charging plugs are simple but powerful tools that will help restore a sense of normalcy and engagement in our learning environment.

Scissors and markers will allow students to design, build, and model their ideas during hands on STEM activities. Earphones will help them focus on virtual labs, and digital learning in shared or noisy environments. Charging plugs will ensure our devices stay ready for research, experiments, and collaborative projects.

These supplies will help us cut, color, connect, and create no matter where we are. With your support, we can rebuild a classroom where students feel empowered, supported, and excited to learn again even in the aftermath of a storm.
