My Project

Hello, my name is Charysma Collins, and this year marks my debut as a dedicated teacher. As I embark on this journey, I aspire to create a vibrant and nurturing environment for my students. I am eager to enhance our new classroom with new items that will not only enrich their learning experiences but also foster a sense of warmth and belonging.

My goal is to provide welcome snack packs and classroom items bags that will contribute to the positive atmosphere and support their growth, both academically and emotionally.

By welcoming them with open arms and ensuring they have the necessary tools, I aim to empower my students to thrive and excel throughout the school year.

Your support in helping me and contributing to this vision would mean the world to us. Together, we can create a space where every student feels valued, inspired, and ready to conquer each day with joy and confidence.
