My Students

My students bring such joy to my life and I am thankful to be their teacher. We seriously have some of the best students in our small town, elementary school. I know that every school and every teacher says that, but I know just how amazing our students are. I am blessed to have the opportunity to teach in Northern, Wisconsin.

I have 21 awesome students who deserve to have the very best education!

We are over sixty percent free or reduced price lunch, but together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need.

I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

My Project

My students look forward to snack time every day. I think it would be a wonderful opportunity if I'm able to provide snacks for all students, especially for those families that cannot afford buying them. It would be a blessing to be able to provide students this opportunity, so their brains are always ready to learn!

Having a full tummy will in fact allow my students to work to their full potentials!

I know that when I have had enough to eat, I work my best and have more stamina for working hard. I don't like the fact that some of my students can bring snacks every day and some can't. If my students' basic needs are met they will then be able to express their creativity and work their hardest.

Students that come to school with essential materials for class, often sets them up for success in learning! I'm asking to be funded for more student notebooks, as this is a classroom supply that is often missing. We use separate notebooks for Math, ELA, Reading WIN, Math WIN, along with Science and Social Studies class. These notebooks are used for taking notes, document strategies for learning curriculum content, and for students reference what they've learned about.

Having Clorox wipes will provide a clean and healthy classroom environment for students to learn! Like notebooks, I usually find myself running out of Clorox wipes by December or January. With the cold and flu season approaching, it would be nice to have a full Clorox supply for the entire school year. We use these wipes to clean student learning areas, tables, chairs, sink and door handles. Attendance at school and keeping students healthy is essential for successful learning!
