My Students

Teacher: "Excellence is the expectation" Students: "I believe in myself and my abilities, I achieve my goals by giving my best to be the best, even when no one is watching. I respect myself, my school and my community, excellence INDEED is the expectation, I AM EXCELLENCE"

My 25 Kindergarteners live in the heart of northeast Washington, DC and struggle with basic necessities let alone technology!

We are working hard to close the achievement gap between our low income students and other students in DCPS. Our Title I school is 98% free and reduced lunch but that does not stop us from achieving all of the goals we set for ourselves. We just need a little more support.

My Project

Experts agree that school furniture is an integral part of the learning process. The right school furniture enables students to be poised to learn the things they need. Every day, kids spend about six hours, if not more, seated at a desk. If the seating isn’t comfortable, the kids might have a hard time focusing. But even worse, kids can start to develop back problems and other health issues resulting from poor furniture. Bean bag chairs are naturally comfortable, so they promote learning. They’re soft and inviting for kids of all ages. Sitting on one doesn’t feel like a chore — kids are often happy to be there since a bean bag chair feels different from the chairs they usually associate with school. Using comfortable bean bag chairs can make them more open to the learning process.
