My Students

I am the lucky interventionist of many amazing, smart, fun, energetic, artistic, creative, and amusing students. We live in a small, rural community. Our school has a diverse culture. Included in our boundary is a Native American reservation from which a good part of our student body comes. Most of our students qualify for free breakfast and lunch.

Even though our cultures and economic situations are varied, our school is a welcoming place of learning, working together, and providing the best for our children.

My Project

Physical education and a healthy lifestyle are important to me, as well as teamwork and movement. Having two sets of Rhino Skin dodgeballs will give my students a chance to take a break and get some physical exercise. Dodgeball not only increases movement and physical activity but it also helps students learn to work together, have good team work and especially improve their sportsmanship. Being a good sport is also another quality I want my young students to develop. This will help them to be successful throughout their entire lives.
