My Students

The Billionaires are as unique as their classroom moniker. They are unlike any group of students before. Every day, they come to school ready to become college-bound world changers. They embody the class values: Persist, Achieve, Team, and Honor.

They come to school every day with great anticipation for the day's activities and are ready to learn.

These students have had quite the educational journey. They are a wonderful group of students who deserve the best education.

My Project

Virtual learning has shifted the needs of students faster than anticipated. One of those needs is the extensive time students are required to complete assignments on technology. The foundational skills learned in first grade are needed for one's entire life and one-to-one headphones are needed for students to complete daily work assignments.

Our students come to school every day with great anticipation for the day's activities and are ready to learn.

It can be difficult to focus with 30 devices in one small classroom. Students will be able to focus on their individual learning with your assistance.
