My Project

Students want to learn. Even in the most difficult situations students want to learn and as teachers we do everything we can to facilitate the learning. In the event of an emergency or natural disaster that would require sheltering in place outside, learning will occur.

Help me provided a calm and safe learning space for students in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.

By funding this request you help to ensure that my students have a safe place to be while learning during or an emergency or disaster as they wait for families.
