My Project

This project was created to help my amazing scholars receive the basic essentials needed in the classroom as well as give scholars additional resources to help them be successful this school year.

My Why

As a dedicated teacher, my passion has always been teaching children and ensuring they learn what is needed to take them to and through college. Since I was a child, I always knew I would become a teacher. I dreamed of helping people and one day making a difference in my community through various avenues of education.

Basic Materials

The basic materials on my list will be used every day in the classroom. From math manipulatives to plain white paper, we will be needing about every essential you can think of. We need paper, whiteboards, math manipulatives, and a host of other materials.

Please help this teacher from a small Brooklyn school achieve success this school year by donating to my classroom. Thank you so much for your time.
