My Project

Hi everyone! I’m a recent college graduate and will be starting my journey as a first-year teacher this upcoming school year. I’m excited to create a welcoming and safe environment for my students, but as you can imagine, there are still many supplies I need to get started.

The items I’m requesting will make a big difference in my students’ learning by providing them with essential tools for organization, creativity, and collaboration.

Flexible seating, dry erase boards, and markers will allow them to engage more interactively in lessons, while other supplies like notebooks and folders will help them stay organized throughout the year.

My goal for this project is to create an environment where students feel excited to learn, work together, and express themselves. I want to provide them with the resources that will inspire them to be their best selves, both academically and personally. By equipping them with the right tools, I can help foster a space where they thrive.

What makes my students special is their unique potential and diverse backgrounds. They each have different needs, strengths, and talents, and I’m committed to giving them the best possible learning experience.

Thank you in advance for any donations – every little bit helps!
