Last year, our school district decided to merge several campuses in order to save money due to increased expenditures from Hurricane Harvey and attendance levels dropping in the more affected areas of town. My campus was one of the ones merged and I had to move to a new campus. My new campus is now receiving students from another merged country campus and these students are being bused in and out of town. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. I would like to be able to give all of them what I can in the form of experiences and opportunities to help them be the best they can be! I was blessed with Donor's Choose projects being fulfilled last year for Flexible Seating. These seating options are continuing to be used in my new classroom and the students love them! With the help of more projects being fulfilled, this class will see blessings too!
