My Project

My school is located in a low-income neighborhood with scholars from diverse backgrounds. Nearly all scholars qualify for free school meals.

My students have a love for reading especially graphic novels.

These books will continue to help my students build their reading stamina.Each child is unique and deserves quality resources and experiences that will shape their future.

Our school is comprised of both general education students and students with an array of disabilities including learning disabilities and speech and language impairments. My students learn at different paces and have a variety of learning styles.
