My Students

I am so excited to introduce our students. We are a community of 900 students living in low income households with an eagerness to learn! They always seem to be looking for new things or activities to explore.

This is a community of creative thinkers and active movers!

The students of our school are amazing team players, helping each other within the classroom setting and extending out into the gym. We have all worked together to be creative with our games and develop a unique program within our space. We explore new technology in the classroom and in the gym!

My Project

Our school is dedicated to the health and wellness of every child and staff member. Connecting the body and mind is what we believe will set our students and teachers apart. In order to further our connection, we would like to focus on giving our community inside our building the opportunity to have a place to get a sense of peace.

Having our own mindfulness space is a great way for our students and staff members to focus on our individual needs.

With this space, our students and staff members will be able to learn more about coping strategies to take on real world stressors.

During physical education classes, students will be learning about different techniques that will help deal with stress. Research has shown, students with great coping skills will be happier students and in turn better open to learning.

Students have already begun to incorporate these strategies into the classroom environment. Classroom teachers have partnered with the physical education department to have these strategies consistent throughout the building. This mindfulness room with give the students and staff more of an opportunity to develop these successful strategies.
