Meet Makylah Reid (‘26 M.A.T.), a recent Teacher Box recipient  

How does receiving a Teacher Box set you up for success in your classroom? 

“Purchasing supplies for the classroom can be challenging. With the teacher box, it provides a fantastic starting point and something to help us get on our feet. My favorite item from the teacher box is the timer, because it is very easy to lose track of time! The teacher box will help me stay organized from the moment I enter my classroom." 

What does the MAT program mean to you? 

"The MAT program has given me a community. My classmates have been an important part of my experience in the program. Through discussions and shared experiences, it has been amazing to have support during challenges and successes. The encouragement they provided continued to build my confidence. The community I have created during my time in the MAT program serves as a reminder that having a supportive environment is essential for educators.”
