My Project

I absolutely love my students' curiosity and eagerness to learn. Each resource we're requesting, like notebooks, pencils, and art materials, will make a huge difference in their learning by providing them with the basic tools they need to participate fully in class activities and complete their assignments.

Our goals for this project are to ensure that every student has access to the supplies they need, to foster a more engaging and productive learning environment, and to inspire creativity and critical thinking.

What makes my students special is their resilience and determination to succeed despite the challenges they face. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to our classroom, making it a vibrant and dynamic place to learn.
