My Students

My students are driven, curious and getting ready for college and awesome careers. An eagerness to learn and good humor leads to energy and enjoyment most of the time, most days. All of my classes are embracing the learning of US History and Contemporary Issues through hands-on activities, discussions, debates, and group work that push them to be 21st-century workforce-ready.

My students are salt-of-the-earth individuals with a strong sense of community and a knowledge of how important education is.

If these are the people who will be leading Connecticut and America in the future, who will be solving social, political, and economic issues, then we are in good hands.

My Project

A multitude of scientifically-based and peer-reviewed research studies have proven that exercise and fitness positively impact student learning. Blood and oxygen flow in the body and brain helps students' retention and memory, mood, motivation, and achievement.

By helping us construct a climbing wall in our classroom, you will empower students to powerfully combine learning and fitness during our 80 minute block lessons.

The vision is that the many students who feel they "can't sit still" for that long, will be able to traverse across the climbing holds, which requires focus and physical exertion. This short boost should positively impact learning potential, and it will also expand students' concept of what a classroom environment can actually look like and be.
