My Project

In 2020 I was excessed from my school due to budget cuts. I spent two years at two other schools feeling like I was thrown away by a system I gave my all to every day. I've been teaching for 12 years and at my school, I was known for creating a classroom that is inviting for all students that walk through my doors.

When I was excessed, everything I spent 12 years creating in my classroom was thrown out.

You see, my room became the Covid/Isolation room and now that I'm coming back to my school, I have to start over. I was excessed over the summer, so I didn't have a chance to get all that I had accumulated in that room to create the environment my students adore. This year, I finally return home, after two years of being away from my school, students, and second family. I can recreate the warmth of my classroom over time, but that will take a lot of time. These have been difficult times for me; like many Americans during this state of inflation, but with your help, I can begin to give my kids the clean peaceful respite some of them so desperately need.
