My Project

Students learn best when they are in a comfortable, safe environment. These supplies will allow them to turn our classroom into their home. Afterall, I consider them all my children, and we are certainly a family.

My students are exceptionally creative and talented and have so many wonderful ideas about how to dress up our space to make it a welcoming space, where each of their personalities and cultures are represented.

All they need now are the supplies to do it. These classroom supplies will be put to good use for student created bulletin boards and mural walls.
