My Students

My elementary school services K-5 students in Philadelphia. The families and neighbors here are close and supportive. Unfortunately, the student population is 100% economically disadvantaged.

We are very proud of our school community.

We have a diverse student body dedicated to becoming lifelong learners and productive citizens. All of the students here follow the 3 Rs which represent our core beliefs. The students are Respectful, Responsible, and Ready.

My students will take full advantage of any generosity given to them. Thank you, for your consideration and time.

My Project

Art is a vital part of student education and voice. Please consider giving to our Makerspace to help my students express themselves. I chose the Cameo Silhouette after much research. It provides free software so that all students can create designs in our tech lab and apply their designs to our Makerspace creations.

With the Cameo Silhouette, students will be able to create designs that add their personality and artistic skills to their creations.

Students can personalize their bots for Robotic Competitions, make their Makey Makey circuit creations shine, advertise our Podcast, and so much more. Please help give my students a Cameo Silhouette to bring more art to their makerspace creations!
