My Students

I work at the best middle school. Our students have school pride that is contagious. We are a school family like no other. Our school is located in an inner-city neighborhood surrounded by low-income housing.

We are a school that is academically and culturally diverse.

We pride ourselves on helping students from all parts of the academic spectrum. It is our goal to let every student know and feel they are wanted, welcomed, and needed at our school every day.

My Project

We are excited to start our cheerleading team this year. This means we need everything to get us going. As we start building this program, we need cheer uniforms. My hope is to help provide as many cheer items as I can to lessen the burden on our families.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Our school family is working very hard together to give our kids a memorable experience in cheer. Your support is very much needed as we help put smiles on our girls' faces. I am looking forward to seeing our girls dressed as a team from head-to-toe in their uniforms.
