My Students

I am honored and humbled to have the opportunity to play a part in shaping the future of 165 students. I have fallen in love with the way my students appreciate everything they are given. It has made me a better person and teacher. This motivates me to try to expose them to as many opportunities as I can. Their determination is truly special and it has inspired me to teach them new things for the next generation of pioneers.

I want to remind them that success is not a number!

On paper, 94% of my students are economically disadvantaged, 40% of them are English language learners, and 13% have a learning disability, this is not who they are.

Our school is located in an impoverished neighborhood, but their eagerness to come to school and learn is contagious and they are encouraged to rise above their circumstances.

My Project

I want my students to have all of the opportunities that are available to them. For this to happen, they need access to reliable technology. With your help we will be able to narrow the digital divide by providing them with a laptop that could be used to access their assignments and participate in commuter science opportunities. The addition of the laptops will ensure my students can access the available programs with ease.

By donating to our project, you will provide access to a new world of innovation and excitement.

Now, my students will be able to concentrate on the tasks and projects they are working on instead of worrying about being able to access it. Your donation will increase technology literacy and close opportunity gaps. Please consider donating to so my students' talents can shine as they broaden their horizons.
