My Students

I teach fifth grade reading in one of the best rural schools in Oklahoma! My students are a diverse group with varied levels. Our classroom is a space where students enjoy coming to learn, but in a non-traditional way. We are a Title I school with the majority of our students receiving free lunches. These kids have the biggest hearts you'll ever come across. Every single one of my students has integrity, compassion, and a positive attitude. They are truly amazing people. My school is wonderfully supportive of the project-based learning that we do in our classroom. I couldn't ask for a better environment for these students. We are truly a community!

My Project

Something so simple as having adequate school supplies can make a difference in a child's life and experience at school. I have made it a personal goal every year to provide my students the school supplies they need in order to learn, and I want to continue to do that with this project.

My students need backpacks that are durable and will hold their school supplies for the whole year.

Although it is only November, many of the backpacks my students bring to school are in bad shape. Some students do not have a backpack at all. I want to make sure that they are able to come to school with a backpack that will actually hold their supplies and keep their lunches intact.

I am appreciative to Burlington for taking that extra step to make it possible for students to have every tool they need to have the best learning experience!
