My Project

My students are bright, creative, and full of potential, they truly light up my classroom! To help them shine even brighter, I’m asking for donations of highlighters.

These colorful tools will make a big difference, helping them underline important details, organize their ideas, and stay engaged with their work.

Seeing their excitement as they learn and grow is the best part of my day. My goal is to give them everything they need to succeed, and your support can make that happen. Thank you for helping my amazing students glow with confidence and learning.
