My Students

My 6th-8th grade students are amazing and many have overcome so much adversity in their short lives. Our school is a Title I school, and 95% of my students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. They are such amazing kids, and it is crucial that I provide them with the most engaging and positive reading and writing experiences in order to get them to where they need to be and have successful futures.

"What we learn becomes a part of who we are." The donation to my middle school will change students' learning experience.

My goal is to always create a positive learning environment for my students, and your donation will help so much. We really appreciate you.

My Project

Our students have been working very hard during virtual learning and although there have been challenges with remote school, there has also been just perseverance and determination happening! When we go back to school, since our school is right by a taco bell, I would like to celebrate with their learning with a taco party! Students miss each other, they miss school, and they need some happiness in their educational lives. I would love for us to have a celebration with recognition for all the hard work!

Whether students attend school in person or remotely, a sense of community is important for them to succeed, and this project would provide just that!

When we go back, we would love to have a party to celebrate achievements! We are hoping that is very soon! Thank you!
