My Students

I teach an amazing bunch of students with special needs with a wide range of support needs. We are a community located in the heart of a blue-collar neighborhood in a large, urban area in Indiana. They have amazing hearts and spirits that drive them to overcome whatever life throws at them.

My students are extremely resilient and overcome the obstacles they face.

You can't help but get excited about life when you are around my students. Their determination and dedication are beyond infectious. They are truly some of the toughest and most determined people I know.

My Project

What do you remember about your graduation? Of course, we remember walking across the stage, the music, and all of the pictures. For a lot of people, it is also the parties, getting together with your friends. Unfortunately for our students with special needs they often miss out on getting together with their friends to celebrate this huge milestone of leaving high school.

Many of our students with special needs become isolated outside of school.

This is where we need your help. With Covid, this senior group has missed out on a lot of special moments over the past 3 years. From virtual learning to no prom to class trips. This has led to reduced opportunities to form social bonds with friends. We want to help them celebrate in a big way. I am asking for your help to help decorate for a party we are throwing for them. We already have food provided and now need to make the place scream celebration. Help give them one final memory of high school. Help make a special event great for our students with special needs.
