My Project

This will be my 35th year of special education and I am as excited as I was in year one. Everyone should awake each morning knowing they are going to their happy place. That’s work for me, my happy place. My students have very little at home. From family support to necessities, they are hurting. Each year I reach into my pocket willingly. Each year it becomes more and more expensive. My pitiful southern salary doesn’t go far, but I refuse to have MY kids go without if I can help it - even if it means asking for help. So I ask YOU - please help these kids succeed - because they CAN and they WILL.
