My Project

I love teaching! I have been teaching for 29 years in the Philadelphia school district. The items that I have included in my donor choose are necessities within the classroom that will help students thrive.

Focusing, especially at the beginning of a school year is important!

Snacks are essential for students to help them focus. Glue sticks and markers will help with art projects within the classroom. Finally wipes and cleaning supplies will ensure that the classroom is clean and ready for learning every day. Your donations will help my students thrive in the upcoming school year.
