My Students

My students are very eager to learn about the world around them! They are inquisitive thinkers, and want to know how the world works and why it works the way it does!

Our school is located in a suburban community with strong parent and community support.

We take pride in sharing a learning experience that allows students to experience the world around them in a wide variety of ways! I am proud of the learning my students do every day and helping them to advance their technology skills!

My Project

During our Discovery time, my students will have the option to use paint, markers, colored pencils, and crayons to create art that represents who they are! By donating to our project, you will make paints, brushes, colored pencils, and crayons available to my students. They will be able to create art that represents who they are! One of our favorite projects that we do at the beginning of the year is to create self-portraits from a variety of materials, and your donation to this project will help them do that!
