My Students

My elementary school services K-5 students in Philadelphia. The families and neighbors here are close and supportive. Unfortunately, the student population is 100% economically disadvantaged.

We are very proud of our school community.

We are a community of diverse students dedicated to becoming lifelong learners and productive citizens. All of the students here follow the 3 Rs which represent our core beliefs. The students are Respectful, Responsible and Ready.

My students will take full advantage of any generosity given to them. Thank you, for your consideration and time.

My Project

My students need Robots to learn how to Code. Our students will use these robots to learn sequence and code at an early level. These simple robots will give them a head start in learning how to code.

Your generous donation to our project will benefit our K-3rd grade classrooms allowing them the opportunity to start working with code.

Students will learn about sequence, patterns, and conditions in coding. They will also use math skills such as measurements and time to develop courses for one another and code their robots through the courses!

Students will take what they've learned from these coding lessons and develop an interest in the fastest growing work field in the world.
