My Students

Our school is a public, all-girls, 6-12 Title I school nestled in the heart of Atlanta that serves 100% Black and Latina girls. Our girls are compassionate, creative, resilient, inquisitive, full of energy, and optimistic about their future possibilities. Despite the barriers they may encounter, our students walk into our front doors where there is a full staff waiting to nurture their potential.

I am passionate about centering my students' lived experiences in our school's curriculum for meaningful and authentic engagement; care is at the core of each and every project requested.

Our school has been recognized as a nationally accredited STEM certified school and we believe that learning is an extension of each child's home and community. Our new focus is to pursue STEAM certification by incorporating creativity, innovation, and an appreciation for art into our problem and project-based learning units (PBLs). Though funds are low, our drive is high as we push our girls to become globally conscious, college, and career-ready STEMinists.

My Project

These materials will help our scholars begin keeping medical charts of the animals within our sustainability initiatives and the veterinary science program. Our veterinary science pathway is new this year and we are the only school in the district to offer this engaging opportunity for scholars!

With these supplies, our scholars will be able to track the growth of our small animals within the veterinary science program by noting their weight, temperature, behavior, and nutrition.

With animals on campus like a tortoise, leopard gecko, bearded dragon, hamster, hedgehog, fish, silkie chickens, and quail, these supplies will help us ensure that they are being properly cared for and socialized in a learning environment. Thank you for considering this project!
