My Students

When most people go to work, they are greeted by a computer, a register, or a telephone. I get greeted by tiny, smiling faces that are eager to learn. These amazing students are the reason I gladly stay till five at night, come in on the weekends, and toss and turn at night thinking about their successes and areas of improvement.

There is growing scientific evidence that shows students' environments greatly impact their ability to learn and their test scores.

My goal is to create a classroom environment and provide supplies that help students thrive to the best of their ability. My students are kind, giving, happy, and dedicated to their education. Knowing that cheeseburgers are my favorite food, I often hear "Mrs. Crane, meet me in the cafeteria, cheeseburgers are on the menu today. You can share mine with me!" They have pride in who they are, how hard they work at school, and the bond we have made. At my school, more than half of our students are economically disadvantaged, and many come from foster programs and/or are English language learners. Thank you for considering donating to our school family!

My Project

Nearly 100% of my school budget every year is dedicated to my students as it should be, however, after a handful of years basic things like staplers and files need to be replaced and this often falls through the cracks. Donating to this project will help with many basic things that keep the classroom up and running. Funding this project will affect the students because it will ensure they continue to receive their homework packets, make their yearly memory books, new markers for them to participate in calendar, notes to send positives messages home and so much more are all included in this project. Thank you for considering donating to our class.
