My Project

The last several years have been difficult. The students have struggled, teachers have struggled, and families have struggled. But that is all behind us now. This is the year for success and joy. I am asking for a few things that will help the year move smoothly.

My students are amazing and they are eager to get going, and learn as much as they can!

With your help, they will be able to do that. The Moth books that I am requesting will provide some much-need motivation and encouragement for them. The books will encourage my students to both face the unknown and defy impossible odds. The wall decoration will remind them that they can accomplish anything. The timers will keep us on-track and help our class running smoothly. The thumb drive will help me stay organized and allow me to give content and materials to the students.
