My Project

Vacation is over, school is nigh! I want to start my students off right .

If you believe in fairy tales, please believe that paychecks are pale.

I would love to gift my babes bookbags, in order for them to go home and brag, that they have a school that loves them the most. That they have a school to which they can toast.

Saying "May this be the beginnings of our happy days, that our learning garners praise. Lets lift our hearts with lofty joy that learning is equitable for all girls and boys!
