My Students

“Keyes Kids” are some of the most loving, protective, energetic, bright, and the hardest working kids you will ever meet! I have one bright bunch and they have my heart 100%. Their self-esteem about learning has grown in unimaginable ways. When children believe in themselves, there are no limits to what they can achieve or become. I have watched my kids go from not being motivated to learn, to now being engaged in lectures, completing homework, and most of all, helping each other be agents of change in their own communities. When teachers believe that all children can learn, and give them the tool to learn, children soar to higher heights academically, with the drive to be more than what they expected of themselves!

My Project

We are trying to rebuild our classroom after being exposed to asbestos. We have no place to store our supplies. We need the storage cabinets to store school supplies instead of placing them in boxes on the floor. The cabinets will store school supplies, math manipulatives, station activities and many other items we use daily in our classroom.

These items will make our classroom feel more like a home and less like a place of clutter.

It will help it start to look and feel the way a classroom should feel. Thank you kindly for your consideration in giving any donation to help us achieve our project goal. It is so appreciated!
