My Project

Thank you for this amazing opportunity! I am excited to focus on strategies and emotional skills to strengthen their existing talents and passions! They will LOVE the sketch pads, wireless mice, fidget stones, sensory bottles and glitter so we can make calming jars.

My kids are my world!

They deserve all of the opportunities the world has to offer. Let's do this! Thank you so much for your consideration.

In our class, we are all about celebrations! If we are funded, we are ready to cheer! LOUD! We thank you kindly.
