My Project

My school is a very special place where all children are supported and encouraged to do their best.

We have many students that face trauma and hardships in their daily lives.

Many of our students have behavior problems and difficulties with learning. We are working very hard to build up their self-esteem as well as teach them the high academic skills that they need for their futures.

The best part of my job is seeing my students' thrill and excitement when they have mastered a concept, or have completed a task independently. I love working with children, and they all bring joy to my life.

I want to be able to help and support them in every way possible. My students love to color and do arts and crafts. My students love to express themselves through their writing. These bright markers and crayons will motivate them and keep them happy!

Thank you for the opportunity for me to share a little about my wonderful students with you!
