My Students

My students are resilient individuals who have faced adversities that I could only imagine, poverty being only one of them. Our school has taken to heart the needs of our students and have looked at ways in which we can best support their learning.

I want to see each of my students succeed, but first I must meet their needs.

My students deserve to have a fun, comfortable, and engaging environment that promotes high levels of learning.

I truly have the best kids and I want to give them nothing but the best!

My Project

The resources donated will help my students experience how energy works through a variety of hands on experiments. I have specifically chosen materials that will allow my students to discover solar, wind, and electrical energy.

Each of the donated materials will leave a lasting impression on my students as they will be able to see first hand how energy works.

I am confident that my students will be able to more fully understand the concept of energy through the use these materials. I can't wait to see them to use their problem solving and teamwork skills when discovering how energy works.
