My Project

We began the school year at our current school, now, over Christmas break, we need to pack up and leave the classroom home we have created and move to a new building.

Help me give my students a beautiful classroom rug and supplies as we move to a new building.

Leaving everything behind will be hard, but having a beautiful new classroom in our new school will make it worth it! Let’s help make January not only a new start to the year, but a fresh start in our new classroom home.
