My Students

My classroom is like a second home for over 120 amazing individuals. My scholars are all vibrant and can be challenging at times. They are all special to me, they have taught me a lot during my 1st year of teaching. Although these children face a multitude of obstacles they still come in with a vibrant smile daily. I love being the teacher they can come and sit and talk to. I also love being able to provide them with the necessities they need when they come to school daily.

My Project

The items requested in this project is to help kids who cannot afford the basic necessities to start school. This pandemic have left a lot of parents without which means our kids also don’t have. I will like to help these kids start the school year off right, with your help this will be successful. I also requested things such as sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer to keep the germs away as much as we can. I am trying to keep our kids as safe as possible as we head back into our school buildings.
