My diverse group of students arrive at school each morning wearing bright smiles. Their friendly voices not only greet me, but they greet each other too. A beautiful thing to witness. It makes me so excited to start my day with them. Every morning I think, how lucky am I?
My students come to school on a quest for knowledge, all hungry to learn more!
I am truly in awe of my creative students as they are driven and highly motivated to better their own learning. Their faces light up at positive attention and praise and I try my hardest to create a safe and fun learning environment for them. School is much easier when you feel supported, and I want that for my students.
I reward my students with a monthly book choice to keep and read at home if they complete their monthly reading calendar. Please help me have a variety of books for my students to choose from so they have quality literature to read from home. This will be so helpful for both my students and I as allowing my students to choose a book every month is costly. Please help my students build their home libraries so they can be bookworms.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
