My Students

My awesome students attend school every day. Since my students are at school all day, most consider school to be a special home away from home. My wonderful students need the bare essentials to help them become successful in society.

Most of my students are from low-income families and are eager to learn.

Our professional and highly motivated staff, in partnership with parents, encourages each child to achieve his/her full potential. In a disciplined and caring environment, based on mutual respect, each child is valued as an individual. The vision is to equip children for the demands and opportunities of the 21st century by offering a differentiated, effective, and rigorous curriculum to all students.

My Project

These last two years in the pandemic have not been easy for students. My students will be returning to school this year in person. Students need every tool available to help with academic skills. This year will focus on building the reading and math skills individually. The sight word cards, blend practice cards, multiplication and division cards will help to enhance student academic skills.

Please help my students get the materials needed to enhance academic skills.

Your contributions will allow my students to receive the materials to help them improve skills. Thank you for taking time to help my students.
