My Students

Happy, healthy, and innovative is one of the few mottos the teachers and students at our school strive to achieve. Whether it be through engaging lessons, link crew, or wellness day, our school strives to help shape students who are overall happy emotionally and socially, practice healthy habits, and create innovative projects which allow them to communicate effectively, think critically, collaborate, and connect and the world around them.

The school where I work as a teacher, and coach, is a comprehensive high school in Northern California that serves grades 9-12.

Our students and athletes live in an area where their motivation, eagerness to learn, and determination to do well are at the forefront of all of their actions. Students participate in endless extracurricular activities such as athletics, drama, choir, and community service, which helps shape them into outstanding community members.

My Project

Help me give my students more whiteboard space in the classroom. The classroom that I am in, has one updated whiteboard and two chalk boards, which let's face it, no one likes to use chalk anymore. It's dusty, messy, and causes unnecessary allergies for students and teachers. Because that space is so dated, I am unable to use it to post materials, brainstorm, or do lessons with my students.

Getting these sticky white boards will allow me to cover up the old, yucky chalk boards and put up a clean, fresh whiteboard space for me and my students to work.
