My Students

Students in my school are able to apply their developing knowledge of mathematics and science using technology. We use hands-on materials and learning through experiences and challenges.

Over 95 percent qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, but students still respond to our enthusiastic, caring teachers and staff.

Students are expected to work hard and maintain a consistent effort. They are highly motivated and enjoy challenging themselves. They work well in collaboration with their peers and are always creative in their solutions.

My Project

We have been using a camcorder and video editing software to create short films and a school news show. The current computer set up does not have the necessary amount of computing power or space to properly implement the video program. The students have been working hard and doing the best they can with what we have, but a better computer and screen would make the club and projects much easier to complete. This would also make the projects and lessons more effective.

The desktop computer, screen, and accessories will allow the students to create more innovative videos and use the software more effectively.
