My Students

I have worked at this small community school for well over sixteen years. I have witnessed the growth of students on a monumental scale. The area in which I teach places a premium on learning and involvement. Every year the students and their motivations, prior knowledge, etc. change, which ultimately brings about new and exciting challenges.

The students I have this year inspire me every day by their fervor and drive.

It is remarkable all that they have to offer the present and the future. I am thrilled to be a part of their learning experience and the journey of life they are on.

My Project

There are certain donations which need to be protected. Over the course of the last month or so we have been blessed by the kindness and love from all over the country. This classroom in particular has been lucky enough to have a plethora of benefactors.

This backpack will be used to protect the GoPro camera, video camcorder, and the many accessories which go with each.

It is imperative for the students to be able to use these supplies for years to come. The best way to ensure this is to protect the investment we have been entrusted with.

I am constantly taken aback by the generosity of donors such as yourself. The students and I are very appreciative of all you have afforded us.
