My Project

I love my students. I have been teaching at the same school since 2004. My school is a Title One school. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Our students have a great deal of need.

I want my new kindergarten students to start the year off with everything they need to be successful during the school year.

I don't want parents to be worried about how they will get the supplies they need and I want my students to have everything they need to learn on the very first day of school.

Everyone remembers getting new school supplies and having a clean notebook and new pencils and new crayons. I want my students to have that experience.
