My Students

We are a pre-k through eighth community school. It is a joy to work with this community and with these students. They take pride in their school and community. We are truly a community school.

We have fabulous students who work hard every day to be the best version of themselves.

We are teachers who want to do the most for our students; we want them to have all the experiences and all the available opportunities. We want them to enjoy school, be successful, and get the most out of every day!

My Project

We have just moved into a new classroom. It is an amazing space and we are so very lucky to be there! We need to ditch our desks. They are old and just collect; everything. We need to clean up and cleanout. There are no tables to be had in the building ( I guess others had the same idea) and of course, no money, in the budget.

Please help us to Ditch the desks and clean up our space!

Tables will be cleaner and help us all to be more organized. By purchasing 3 we will be able to space out and still have our own space. We already have table caddies and chair pockets to help us store our stuff. We just need the tables now.
