Honoring my glitzy, glamorous mom, Tyressa "Terri" Decuir 💜
Read more about the Terri Shines ✨ program below.
Terri Shines ✨
My beautiful mom was my greatest supporter and cheerleader by always showing up for me, my students, and my classroom in every way possible. Whether she was helping me craft seasonal gifts for my students, supplying décor items for my classroom, or making sure I had my yearly supply of Crayola crayons every August, her love was always present. Her glitzy personality was reflected in every sparkly corner of my classroom. Through Terri Shines ✨, I am committed to honoring her legacy and letting it shine by offering my services at no cost to one family and one teacher.
Each cycle, one family and one teacher are selected to receive weekly services at no cost. Applications open at the start of each cycle.
