My Project

My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Our school is a Title I school which, of course, means we need as many supplies as possible.

Plus, accidents can happen in the classroom when students need feminine products which include sanitary pads, so I am requesting feminine hygiene products to be used to keep them safe and clean.

I want to have daily snack options for my students. When they are nourished, they are better able to process and understand their work. The ink will be used to keep track of their daily supplies. The index cards and rings will be used to keep track of our daily usage.
