My Students

We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town middle school.

I'm excited to get to know my students and am looking forward to building relationships throughout the school year.

I want to grow with them!

Our school includes over sixty percent free or reduced-price lunch recipients. Together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they deserve.

Although this year may look a little different whether in person, online, or a mix of both, I know we'll build our classroom community and become the family we always are.

I'm hoping to help students learn the joys of reading in any setting and am excited for the new year.

My Project

These materials will help make a difference in student learning by giving them a comfortable setting to learn how to enjoy reading.

I want my classroom to be a safe place where students can settle into a book and let their reading take them to another place or time.

Reading is an adventure and I want to help them realize that.

The rug will be in my classroom to create a spot they can lay or sit on. The bean bag chairs and camp chairs will create a reading hub. The light filters will calm the bright lights in the room. The posters will help motivate and inspire students.

Thank you for partnering with my classroom and making a positive impact on my students.
