My Project

There are numerous reasons why I love my students and everything about them. They are charismatic, free spirited and vivacious! They come from a variety of countries and socioeconomic backgrounds. My students bring to school their experiences, emotions and needs. Our clothing closet helps fulfills some of their needs. Items like shoes, clothing and personal hygiene products are available to them. By adding a freestanding dressing room, mirror and bins, we will be adding a more "store" like atmosphere where students can "shop" for what they need and want. We are excited to add these features for them.
