My Students
Our Title I school has six hundred students in Pre-K through fifth grade. They are curious, enthusiastic, hard-working, and respectful. The student body at my school is 100% free lunch and breakfast. Each student deserves a dignified education. Unfortunately, many students do not have their basic necessities met outside of school.
My students do not let their socioeconomic status affect their desire for learning.
The students are eager learners and have a love for school, which for many is the only consistent part of their lives. Every day I learn more about their struggles, their hardships, and their courage. I attempt to foster an environment that helps each student feel comfortable, safe and enjoy learning.
The diverse life experiences of my students bring a unique atmosphere to my classroom and our entire school. There is never a day in which I am not in awe of my students' lives, both good and bad. My students are excited to be at school. Our school offers the most consistent home many of them will have with their most consistent family.
My Project
Drones and drone flying are a growing marketable job prospect in our fast-paced, technology-driven culture. Drones are used in photography, real estate sales, surveillance and security, and countless other ways. As Bill Gates said, “Drones overall will be more impactful than I think people recognize, in positive ways to help society."
The drone will expand my students' horizons to 21st-century skills that they never would have considered otherwise.
My students need the opportunity to experience basic drone flying, including researching the rules and regulations with flying drones, practicing flying the drones, replacing the motors and props when needed, and more!
Drones are a great way for kids to understand aviation, robotics, technology, and aeronautics. Students will learn the parts of a drone, piloting, maintenance and more.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
