The families and kids that are coming to us are seeking a tuition free, safe, and high quality school that we are so excited to provide! Seeing as this is a lower income school and I am a first year teacher, I have already spent well over my budget on my room and I haven't made a dent in getting the things they deserve. My hope is that my kids can be supported through the purchases of good quality carpets that will provide flexible seating where they can learn best and through many materials they need to learn math and literacy hands on. I would be so very grateful to be sponsored in my classroom so that I can support my amazing students who deserve the world!
