My students are wonderful people, with beautiful hearts and minds. They are kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. Our community is one of deeply invested educators, that strive to educate the whole child, and form a lasting connection with the families that we serve. My students yearn to learn, and love using the computers to do so. Many of our students do not have computers at home, and our school does not have a computer lab. The students are eager to use technology in the classroom, and get extremely motivated when given the opportunity to complete an assignment using the computers. We share one computer cart among three classes, so students get less than an hour each of computer time per week.
