As a first year teacher, my classroom is quite sparse. I have been doing many projects to fund various supplies for my classroom to benefit my wonderful students. My students come from low income families, many of which are relocated refugee families who do not speak English as their first language. While my students may not have been dealt the greatest hand in the world, they show up to school every day eager to learn and ready to try. These hardworking kids have many challenges to overcome and the projects funded through this page are helping them overcome them one hurdle at a time. From all of us in room 116, THANK YOU!
