My Project

Hello! In order to start the year on the right foot I need basic classroom resources so that I can teach students.

When students come to my office for credit and college support I often do presentations to show them how credits work.

I use large boards and markers to this. Other basic supplies are used to help students on a daily basis as well.

One way I make all students and staff feel welcomed and cared for is taking pictures of staff and students throughout the day and I hang those in my office and in my space for everyone to see.

Our volleyball team won the district championship but our school has still not hung the picture. I'd like to purchase a large frame to hand this fantastic student achievement in the building for all to see!

Thank you for your help!
