My Students

Many of our students are English language learners from hard-working families who immigrated from their native countries. We live on a small barrier island where we are grateful for our tight-knit community and various cultures. Our students are taught to celebrate their unique cultures and learn to respect and embrace their differences.

As a language immersion class, my partner teacher and I strive to create open-minded students who view the world through a global lens.

We are dedicated to creating students who will truly make a difference in the world.

My Project

We would like to install a permanent greenhouse on our school property for students to learn how to harvest vegetables, fruits, and flowers. Our students from all grade levels would benefit from this on-site greenhouse where they will learn lifelong skills of growing food. This experience will also allow teachers to teach science units about plant life and the growth process. All students learn responsibility when caring for living plants. We currently have a small garden and greenhouse which my students absolutely love to tend to. This larger version will also be used by our garden club. Thanks so much for your consideration for this exciting opportunity!
