My Students

My students are inquisitive young go-getters who will gobble up all the topics I can expose them to. They are eager to learn and to share what they've learned. They have a diverse range of gifts and talents to share with the world.

My students are voracious learners that bring their unique perspectives into our classroom.

They come from diverse backgrounds and are amazing partners in learning. They bring joy to my life, and I strive to create a loving and comfortable environment for them to become their best selves. I love seeing what they are capable of and love watching them grow. They never stop amazing me.

My Project

My students are currently sitting on stools that I gathered from garage sales and donations. Many of the stools are wobbly and not the proper height.

Please help us get safe and comfortable seating to optimize our learning.

We need to be able to sit properly and reach our tables.

The chairs that we have often leave students several inches from being able to reach the table. They are sitting on pillows or are standing in order to reach. We need to replace all of our stools, but there are 4 chairs in our room that are unsafe. During learn from home times, they became accustomed to comfortable seating. Please help us replace them to promote safety and learning.
