My Students

We are a diverse school and offer a variety of support to our students and families. We are a Title One school that also qualifies for free and reduced meals for all students. Students are offered breakfast and lunch daily, but many are still hungry and would like a snack. It is hard for a child to learn when they are hungry and worried about food insecurity.

We are learning to be persistent in our class and that learning can be fun, yet hard!

We need snacks to fuel our minds so that we can focus on learning. Please consider helping our classroom today! I would like to have a snack available if a child is hungry or requests one for the evening.

My Project

My students lack resources at home and by having books in our classroom library, they can read in class and borrow them to read at home. My classroom has a tremendous amount of curiosity about space, government, community and historical people that impacted how they live their lives.

By supporting our classroom, you will provide students with books that give them information about our world and how people can make a difference.

They are interested in science, space, our early government and inventions that shape our lives today. Please help them explore through reading.
