My Students

My students are thoughtful, creative, and question seekers! They come to school eager to do their best and grow both academically and personally. They come to school with a thirst for learning and doing better.

My students love engaging, visual, hands-on activities and challenges and strive to do their best daily, even when materials and concepts may be hard for them.

They truly take pride in their work and strive to be good, kind-hearted members of society. My school and district offer these kids a warm, safe and loving environment daily!

My Project

My students are extremely creative and love to write. During our creative writing unit, our students will be creating their own stories. If this project gets funded in time, our donation will go directly into their love of writing.

My students will be able to have blank hard covered books to be real life authors and illustrators.

This project will either spark or strengthen their want to become authors and illustrators! I remember being in the 5th grade and writing and illustrating my own book. It was the highlight of the year for me! I would love to give my students that opportunity as well and your donation can help do just that!
