My Students

My students are wonderful, they are hardworking and always willing to give me a helping hand. Many of them enter our school below grade level academically, however, they buckle down and commit to our academic process, and end up learning and excelling beyond their wildest dreams.

We are a supportive community building our school culture on respect, kindness, rigorous academics, and the belief that everyone can go to college and succeed.

We pride ourselves on our inclusive community, we are small enough where everyone feels like family once they step into our warm hallways. Most students lend their time to helping staff decorate their doors, and bulletin boards every few weeks.

Many of my students are new to the country, yet, in a short time, they have acclimated to our school culture, because of our peer-to-peer support system.

My Project

Students in our community will be able to relax and create using the Scratch Pads and keep their hands busy with the Fidget Spinners. As our students returned we noticed they were more in tune with their phones and social media.

This Project will enable my school community to relax and create instead of being on Social Media during school.

I will provide a creative way for students to use their hands and minds in a calming and beautiful way. Students will be able to create out of the darkness and let their light shine through on the Scratchpads.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
