My Students

My students are made up of a diverse group of children with diverse economic, social, and ethnic backgrounds. I have many students who speak a second language at home, such as Spanish, Armenian, Farsi, Korean, Tagalog, or Chinese.

My students come from all walks of life, but they deserve an equal opportunity to have resources available to them for their education.

My school is a close-knit community with strong parent support, dedicated teachers, and has the child's interest in mind.

My Project

A welcoming classroom environment is important to motivate students to learn. I am excited to decorate the classroom with colorful bulletin boards and nameplates when we can safely return to our school.

Help me give my students an inviting classroom environment through these colorful nameplates and bulletin board decorations.

I am planning a passionate red theme in my classroom this year. I've already received red fadeless bulletin board paper through generous Donors Choose philanthropists and now I'm looking to complete my classroom with these beautiful border trims and nameplates.
