Welcome to my DonorsChoose page! I am a first-year teacher at Van Buren School, where I attended from pre-K through 8th grade. Teaching here is a true honor. Van Buren is a Title 1 school in a low-income, predominantly Black and Brown/Latinx community. Our students are vibrant and full of potential, and I am dedicated to providing them with the best education possible. Every donation, whether one-time or monthly, has a profound impact. Your support helps create a nurturing, resource-rich environment where my students can thrive. From essential supplies to enriching activities, every contribution directly benefits their academic and personal growth. Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom. We appreciate all our donors. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of these amazing children, just as Van Buren did for me. With love, Ms. Ballesteros
