My Students

I’m a speech therapist at a Title I school in an urban area. I’ve been at the same school for over 25 years and serve over 50 children. Even though my job gets more challenging every year due to my students’ needs continuing to increase, I stay because of all the amazing kids I get to work with.

Even though a large portion of my children can’t speak and have significant physical and medical concerns, every one of them perseveres to find a way to communicate, even if it’s a facial expression or giggle.

They challenge and encourage me every day. But mostly, they make me smile every day, in person and virtually!

My Project

It's back to school time and the teachers and students are more excited than ever! It's been over a year since we have been in school for five days a week.

Our students need fun school supplies to motivate them to get back into the swing of coming to school five days a week.

We are asking for pens, notebooks, and folders to use during our daily language activities. We are also asking for laminating pouches to use with out laminating machine. At the beginning of the year, we laminate reference pages so that they can last us all year. Finally, our class is in need of an organizational cart to keep all of these supplies organized. Thank you helping us get our new school year off to a great start!
