My Students
The students I have the opportunity to work with are creative, innovative, enthusiastic young people who are known to thank their teachers when they leave classrooms. There are over 1,100 students on campus in grades four through eight. It wasn't always like this, but in the past few years, the school has blossomed as the result of a visionary principal, progressive staff and active parent community. As a result, there is now a lottery and long wait list for new enrollees.
Parents are coming in droves to visit the campus and see all it has to offer including a wide variety of elective classes that you would normally only have access to in high school or college.
For example, students can take Theater, Dance, Speech, Tap, Ensemble, Encore, Keyboards, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Art just to name a few. They can also get involved in a Community Action Team elective course, Future Teacher elective course, or be a part of ASB, Media or Yearbook. They can even learn how to use a 3D printer in a class designed to teach that skill. The students are noticeably vibrant and well behaved. Everyone feels fortunate to be there including me.
My Project
I teach a culinary class and there are 27 students in the class, but we only have one blender and it is older than time. The Ninja set we would like to acquire has a blender and a food processor making it a powerful and practical multi-use tool.
With the Ninja blender and food processor, my culinary students will be able to efficiently prepare smoothies, soups, salads, sauces and more.
We currently have a beautiful garden and regularly harvest things like kale, spinach, arugula, cucumbers, and herbs. With the blender and food processor, students will enjoy learning how to prepare very fresh, healthy whole foods using state-of-the-art equipment.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
