This year I will be teaching Pre k at Jack Hayes Elementary. I am moving from another school district to be close to home and to make a difference in my home community. I am passionate about Early Childhood and the children who pass through my door. I would like them to experience school in a way that makes them excited to attend each day. Having moved from another school I was not able to bring a lot of items with me, and I am basically having to start fresh. I would love to be able to make my classroom new and inviting as this is my students first experience with a school environment. Any donations would be appreciated, and I assure you they would be put to good use.
