My Project

My students have big hearts, but can't always afford all the supplies they need.

I have three big ticket items that would greatly benefit my students!

We need a projector screen. Right now I am using chart paper taped to the back of a book shelf to project onto.

The second item is a set of stability balls. I have many students with ADHD and have trouble sitting still. The stability will help them channel their energy at their desk so they can focus on their work.

Finally, I am requesting notebooks and clipboards for all my students so they don't have to worry about it.
