My Project

My students are unique and hardworking scholars. I teach in a small GA city, with many students receiving free/reduced-price lunches. Most of our students come from the neighborhood around my school, which creates a strong sense of family and community involvement. However, my students still face the additional challenges that poverty can bring. Despite the various challenges that my students and their families face, my students work hard to overcome their obstacles to ensure that they are on a path to success. They are bright, sweet individuals who light up my day whenever I see them.

Full S.T.E.M.

ahead! Help us build our knowledge! These materials will help our students build their knowledge with hands-on S.T.E.M. projects such as Magna Tiles, push/pull projects to build, magnetic shapes, and building gears!

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

I love the idea of encouraging young students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with the hope of bridging the gap in the STEM workforce. Please help us move forward!
