My Project

My hardworking and dedicated students come to school ready to work. They crave an inviting environment where they can feel safe and comfortable during the day. We will use these materials to decorate our classroom and brighten up the walls and bulletin boards.

The students would like to be an active part of the process in making our room more inviting for the remainder of their time here as well as for future students.

They have helped to create this wish list and identified things we need to liven up our space. We are excited to get started.
