My Students

We are so happy to finally be back in person for the last 15 weeks. My students and I are finally adjusting to being back to "normal".

My students come from Rochester, a city that a local newspaper article once reported as having "the poorest children in New York and the most intense metro segregation in the state." It also reported that our district is probably the worst school district in the state, mainly based on reported test scores.

Those statements; however, are not representative of the motivation and ability that my students have. At my new school this year, the goal is that every student will leave high school with some college credits. Many students begin taking college-level courses through our local community college during their junior year.

Even though my students come from a district with a reported graduation rate of around fifty percent year after year, they still strive to be the best that they can be and graduate with college credits.

My Project

As a senior class co-advisor, I want to start planning ahead for our senior events such as the awards ceremony and graduation. Right now, our school, along with 20 other schools in the district, is remote for a few days due to staff shortages. We are hoping to be back in-person next week. With the uncertainty of this year, we want to make sure that we are planning as far ahead as possible.

We want to be prepared for the possibility of a drive-by graduation, as well.

We will still need decorations, even if our graduation will not be in-person. No matter which form graduation is in this year, we want our seniors to feel special. We also want them to be able to take pictures so that they can remember it forever.
