My Students

I am teacher in Ronan, Montana which is located on the Flathead Indian Reservation. The students I teach are very motivated and driven to make a difference in their community. In order to promote citizenship and experience how our government functions we travel to Washington D.C. and New York to see historic sights, engage in experiential learning, and meet with our congressmen. This allows our students to return to Ronan with the tools necessary to make a difference. The thing that I enjoy the most about this experience is seeing students grow and become active members in our society.

My Project

The purpose of the Close Up trip in Ronan is about creating a positive future by encouraging citizenship. By giving students the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. and gaining first hand experience on how an idea becomes a law and how a movement becomes a policy, they will be more likely to enact change at the local level in their community. This is meant to be an uplifting and motivating experience for students on the Flathead Indian Reservation. The community of Ronan is extremely generous with their resources but it can become a hefty financial burden. This grant would allow more students to enjoy this opportunity of a lifetime.

The way that they money will be distributed to students of poverty, Title VI students (Native American Descendants), and Johnson O’Malley Students (students enrolled in a tribe).

Rather than having students ask for donations it would be beneficial to create a program of volunteering. This grant would be used to “pay” students for their volunteering hours. It would go directly into their Close Up account to fund their opportunity to experience Washington D.C. The volunteer hours will be monitored and the opportunities will be offered to the students in need first.
