My Students

Welcome to my page! Thanks for taking time to learn more about my sweet third-grade babies. My school is located in Georgia and currently has a 100% poverty rate.

My class is made up of a wide range of personality and learning ability.

Given the poverty level of my school, my kids are consistently working hard to beat the odds.

I believe in my children to beat the odds and statistics that show most of my students will not attend or graduate college. I know that they are able and will do so!

My students and I both have something very important in common. Each day we are striving for more. We want more knowledge, higher grades, and increasing test scores! We can do this with a little hard work and help from you!

My Project

The students at my school all receive free breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately for many of them they still get hungry throughout the day. We all know from experience that it is hard to concentrate on any task at hand while you are hungry. My hope is that with your help we can use these snacks to rid my students of the hunger factor and help them to stay focused throughout the school day. These snacks would also help benefit those students who may not be feeling well because they are hungry. I would be able to send home additional snacks with students on long weekends to ensure they have food at home with them to eat. Thank you for your continued support of my students!
