My Students

Approximately 75% of the students at our school receive free or reduced-price lunch. Many come from low-income areas, live in poverty, or combat homelessness, and we have a high number of military families. There is an amazing group of hard-working young adults in my class. They strive every day to do their best and succeed. Their goals and dreams are to achieve high school diplomas and go to college.

My students take any obstacle in their path head-on and don't let it slow them down.

These students overcome so many different setbacks during their time in school.

My Project

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." - Yoko Ono

This is the dream that I have for my students, to receive the best quality education possible, as these students are our future.

My anatomy and physiology students amaze me each day as they are always striving to do their best and learn past the objectives. These students are on track to graduate and head off to college, mostly into the various medical professions including future doctors, nurses, physical therapy, and so much more. A lot of times, people look at high school anatomy and physiology as a course that is not important because it is considered an elective and not a core subject, but these students look at it as this is a stepping stone towards their futures and dreams. As most people are aware public education lacks a large source of funding, especially for models and equipment such as the life-size full muscular anatomy model that I am requesting. So that leaves my students to only be able to look at pictures in a book, printout, or online, which leaves them without the ability to actually get a hands-on learning opportunity. Having this model in my classroom for these students and so many students to come, will open the door for these students to learn and grow beyond words. As I know that this project is huge and it seems like an impossible idea for some, but when people dream together we can turn it into a reality. This reality would help to ensure that my students have all the resources they need to prepare for their futures in college and beyond, giving them a lifelong education. Thank you for the consideration and support.
