I want to start by saying a HUGE thank you to every single person who has donated to my classroom in the fall. I cannot wait to fill my classroom with supplies for my students.

At this point, you all have helped me reach my original goal, which will help ensure the basic supplies are purchased. 

But there are still 26 days left for the fundraiser!!

As another quick update, I will be teaching 6th grade English at a STEM school next year, and I am hoping to in addition to the basic supplies, start a small writing program with my students. To do this, I will need writing journals!

For journals, a pack of 12 on Amazon are $20, and I will have four class periods of about 30 kids each. I need to buy 10 sets of these 12 to give me 120 journals, which is about $200 in total. 

Journals: https://www.amazon.com/Mead-Composition-Books-Notebooks-Sheets/dp/B0028N6PSS

Because of this cost, I am creating a stretch goal for my fundraiser! My new goal is $800 so I can buy these journals and ensure my students are able to express themselves and engage in creative writing during their school day.

Any extra money I raise will be going towards my in class library so please help me spread the word! Thank you to everyone who has already shared my fundraiser. I would appreciate any extra shares or posted updates on my behalf! I took myself off social media while at training so I am not able to share it myself.

Thank you in advance for all the additional help!!!

Hello all! 

In addition to the information provided above, I wanted to give everyone a quick update of where I will be for the next two years starting in August. I will be moving to Pueblo, Colorado!!

Pueblo is a small city two hours south of Denver. I have only visited for a day but I am already in love. There is a river running through the main part of the city, and I have never been somewhere SO sunny! 

I have a lot of nerves about this move but I am also confident I am taking the best next step for my life. Living in Providence for the past four years was incredible, and I am looking forward to making Pueblo my new home! 

If you would like to know more about Pueblo, check out this link out: https://livability.com/co/pueblo/real-estate/8-reasons-to-move-to-pueblo-co

I never imagined I would become a teacher but for the next two years, I get to learn more about what it means to be in a classroom. I have a few ideas of what will come after so stay tuned! 

It would mean the world to me if you could donate to help make my first classroom welcoming and warm. While I know this looks like a fundraiser for me, I want to emphasize that this is a fundraiser for my students. I don't know my students yet but I know they will be wonderful, and I know they deserve the best classroom I can give them. Any and all help will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance to everyone who is able to donate!
