My Project

The last several years have been a huge challenge due to COVID. Some of my students have been taught in a remote environment. Some have been home-schooled. Some had significant support in their learning and others did not. No matter where they are in their learning, I am honored to bring their learning forward. As a math interventionist, I work with them to get them up-to-speed with math.

It's the beginning of flu season - and COVID is still a major concern.

We are in desperate need of so many things. We need tissues for the runny noses. I never have enough facial tissues. Wiping your nose with a thick, scratchy paper hand towel is a terrible idea - and quite unsanitary. We need soft, sanitary facial tissues.

We need additional calculators so that I have a chance to clean them in-between students using them. I need more trade books for them to read when they have a minute to change their focus. Colox disinfectant spray - red pencils, regular pencils - those are all things that are needed all the time in a middle school classroom.

Thanks, Arizona, for the gift of funding!
