Support Mrs. Valdez's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
My students are the underdogs.
They’re not your cookie- cutter kids, they come from hard-working families, carry real-life challenges, and still show up ready to try again.
In my classroom, we build confidence, not just skills. We celebrate progress over perfection and remind each other that where you start doesn’t define where you’ll end up. They don’t need pity , they need people who believe in them. If you’ve ever been underestimated or had someone take a chance on you, you already know what that support means.
Please consider supporting them. Every donation helps these students see that their dreams are worth investing in.
