My Project

Hi friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers!

I’m reaching out as the proud teacher of an incredible group of 8th grade students who are full of potential, curiosity, and determination.

But we need your help.

Our classroom could benefit greatly from some essential tools and resources that would make math more engaging, hands-on, and accessible for all students. Whether it’s manipulatives to explore algebra visually, graphing tools to dive into real-world data, or even basic supplies that help keep us organized and focused—your support can make a huge difference.

Your donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to creating a classroom where all students can see themselves as mathematicians. You’re not just buying materials; you’re investing in confidence, understanding, and a brighter future.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in our students. We appreciate you more than you know.

With gratitude,

Ms.B
