My Students

My 4th-grade students at Spring Creek Elementary school are inspired learners that want to succeed. This school gives children from lots of different cultures, areas, and various incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district.

Many students in my classes do not come to school with supplies and resources due to financial constraints.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. Having the materials they need readily available is so important.

My Project

Schools and pencils go hand-in-hand. Students need basic tools to show their thinking, their learning, and ultimately what they know, so teachers can adjust lessons to meet their needs in innovative ways.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academics at hand, and not whether their materials are ready to work or not, or if they have what they need to contribute. Thank you for your donations to support a worthy cause.
