My Students
Our school is just that, a community. It houses close to 1,500 students who all have unique and amazing stories to tell. Immigrants, refugees, and family struggles, these are just a few. As a community school, we provide more than just an education for our students. Because we have such a large low-income population, 100% of our students receive free breakfast, lunch, and an after school meal. In addition, we have a large food pantry to supply students with food to take home. We also have an amazing volunteer program that helps clothe our students and members within our community. On a yearly basis, close to 1,200 individuals are recipients of these donations. Healthcare services are also provided to our students.
My students come from all walks of life.
Forty percent are English Language Learners. Regardless of their daily challenges, they come to class with a smile on their face and eagerness to learn. In addition to overcoming many personal obstacles, my students also have the challenge of learning in an open classroom. Having no walls can be problematic at times, but their willingness to learn is second to none.
My Project
Junior year is extremely difficult for most students, however, this year seems to be far more challenging than those of the past. The pandemic has increased all of my students stress levels and a majority of them don't know how to take a moment to relax.
Creating an environment that will afford my students the opportunity for mindful moments is something that they need more than ever.
I believe providing a safe, comfortable, and quiet space for my students can help reset their minds and be prepared for productive school day. A quiet tranquil space will help them recharge and refresh their love for learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
