Hello, thank you for taking the time to review my welcome message. Let me first start off by introducing myself. My name is Ms. Santamaria. I am a fifth year special education teacher at Chateau Estates. I teach grades 1st-3rd grade. Most of the students who attend my school live in areas of high poverty and receive free or reduced lunch. Teachers at my school receive a supply fee each year for $100, which doesn't provide me with enough money to cover classroom expenses throughout the year (pencils, paper, tissue, and paper towels) which seem to disappear over night. Many of my students require extra supplies to help assist them in the classroom. I have a great group of kids and I want to provide them with the tools that they need in order to achieve their goals in life. Thank you so much for your support!
