Professional development

Teaching 2025-2026

I need these supplies to give my students the best version of me. These resources aren't just materials they're tools that allow me to teach with creativity, energy, and effectiveness.

My Project

These donations will not only enhance my teaching style and engagement strategies, but will also empower my students in their learning.

As teachers, we devote ourselves to making sure our students have the tools they need to succeed.

But often, we forget that we need the right tools too. With your support, I can bring more creativity, energy, and effectiveness into my classroom—giving my students the very best version of me every single day. I’ve often found myself spending a lot of my own money to make sure my students have what they need—but that often leaves little left to invest in the resources I need to grow and teach at my best. Any donation, big or small, will go a long way in helping me access the tools and materials that will make this upcoming school year a success—not just for me, but for a group of amazing 2nd graders who deserve the very best.
