My Project

I work at a small public choice school. What does that mean? Most of our students are at risk of not graduating, and some have dropped out and returned to complete their education, some are parents themselves, and others have found it challenging to attend a large public school. They apply and interview to come to our school to make up credits, find success, and make plans for their future. I am dedicated to making sure that happens for them.

I would LOVE to expand my classroom library as well as get a new class set of books to encourage my students to read more.

Ms. Murdoch
Grades 9-12
