When you are teaching in your neighborhood pre-K through 8th-grade school in a town under 2,000 you know you are making a difference each and every day. Our school of nearly 200 students is the center of our community and its doors are open before and after school and also on the weekends. 20% of our students receive special education services and over 15% are underprivileged. Donating to programs in our small school has positive ripple effects throughout our community. Like all teachers in our school, I wear many volunteer many hats. I'm a 6th Grade classroom teacher, but also the Middle School Debate Coach, K-2 Battle of the Books coordinator, and volunteer for a variety of sporting and after school clubs. When you donate to my classroom, you are helping the whole school and making a positive impact on the future leaders, artists, and inventors our community needs. Your support makes all the difference. Thank you!
