My Project

If students feel good about themselves, it helps create a learning environment for success! We need a storage cart, body sprays, air freshener, and disinfecting products. The health and beauty aids and cleaning products will provide my scholars with the fresh scents that we need!

My goals are to promote positivity and encourage participation in class.

When we shine from the inside out it makes all the difference! Risk-taking is important, and in order to take those risks we need to look and feel our best! Be the best we can be!

My students are special because they are loved truly and ferociously, with neither bias nor ridicule. It is my pleasure to watch them grow into fine humans!
