Our students arrive at school daily to immerse themselves in an inspiring, safe, and consistent learning community. Many come from low-income backgrounds. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. With captivating backgrounds and households of wonderfully diverse constitutions, our students work hard every day in an environment of vigorous curriculum and learning standards.
My Project
Students love opportunities to experience content in a fun and engaging way. To keep students engaged teachers use many unique formats. These unique formats allow students to be creative and formulate stories that bring learning to life, and builds memorable moments that foster a love of learning. All that learning brings a lot of writing all day long. Many classrooms at our school currently do not have an electric pencil sharpener. Some students have individual sharpeners, but many have nothing. Students become impatient and frustrated when their pencils become dull or break. It also takes away from class time. Teachers need reliable, but quiet sharpeners to keep the learning alive.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
