My Project

My students are eager to learn, but don't always have the tools they need to do so. By providing students with these tools I hope to create a classroom environment where everyone in equally able to succeed. These supplies, while basic, will ensure that every student feels prepared and able to accomplish each task they encounter on the their educational journey.

Supplies like notebooks and markers will provide each student with the opportunity to engage physically and mentally in work from each area of the core curriculum.

By doing so, students will increase their opportunities for success.
