My Project

The students at my school are very kind, curious and enthusiastic learners. My school is located in a low-income community school that provides free breakfast and lunch for all students.

Supplies, educational board games and rewards for our classroom would be a great help.

I love my school and the community and I am entering my 21st year of teaching and have been at this school currently for 5 years.

My 2nd graders are all at different levels of knowledge, but this does not stop them from wanting to learn. Their curiosity and love of learning is contagious. Through games and a strong reward system we can continue on our journey of being life-long learners!!!
