My Students

The students of 4th and 5th grades at our school are 21st-century learners who work hard to create a community and society centered climate. They work diligently every day to prepare themselves for our ever changing society.

These children will make an impact on their generation.

They exemplify our society and its needs. Their smiling faces, joyful attitudes, gentle personalities, and exceptional skills make them children that deserve the effort and support of everyone around them.

When you think about children who deserve the support of the people around them, these are the children that you should think of.

My Project

The students at our school are using iPads to supplement their learning every day. However, the cases that we are currently using are falling apart! They fall off and are difficult to plug in. We need new iPad cases to ensure that our iPads stay functional for years to come.

The fluent use of technology will allow our students to participate and engage with our current society.

We need your help in order to keep our school and equipment safe, as well as to ensure that our students are performing at a level that will make them competitive in our current world.

You will also see a roll of 3D printer filament on our project. Our school recently received a 3D printer and the students are excited to try it out and get printing!
