With these funds I will be purchasing classroom necessities. I am planning on making my classroom a warm and productive learning environment, and doing so requires some classroom furniture and decorations. I will be using these funds to go towards bookshelves, filing cabinets, and decorations. In addition, I will also be purchasing basic school supplies. There is a potential that not every student can easily afford the supplies they need to excel in the classroom. I will be buying pencils, paper, notebooks, markers, butcher paper, and more. I will also purchase classroom items like hand sanitizer, tissues, paper towels, and more. The students and I would greatly appreciate donations towards our classroom!

After completing Teach for America’s - 2017 Delta Institute I will be responsible for my very own classroom! I can't wait to decorate and meet my students and their families. One of the biggest hurdles that students in high need schools face is a lack of the necessary materials that are needed daily. It makes it infinitely more difficult for students to take part in activities and classwork when they do not have basic supplies.

PledgeCents allows me to keep whatever I raise, so anything you can contribute really will make a difference for my first year. I want to make a great impression and a lasting impact on my first group of students and letting them know that they have a community that supports them both near and far will definitely get us on the right track.
