My Project

My students are so great and ready for a strong Spring semester. I'm excited to watch them work together and continue to grow. Many of them don't have the healthiest eating habits. They will skip breakfast and have chips and a soda for lunch -- not the best fuel for learning!

They really appreciate knowing they can pick up a healthy snack or sanitary supplies if they need them.

High school can be hard some days balancing classwork, exams, issues with friends and family and the pressures created by social media. I try to provide a calm welcoming space where they can find what they need.
