My Students
My middle school students are enrolled in a rigorous STEAM program that focuses on challenging gifted and high achieving students in a project-based environment.
These energetic students are driven by a genuine love of learning and deserve a classroom environment just as creative and fun as they are.
Whether they are designated gifted or not, each of my students is highly capable and hard working, regardless of their individual struggles or diverse learning styles and they love to work outside!
My Project
Now that the weather is crisp and cool, we love to open the doors and let our classroom spill outside. We can take our laptops, books, notes or novels with us and engage with nature while we learn in an open, spacious environment.
We are so lucky to have a shady, beautiful school campus and these portable desks will allow us to take our learning anywhere.
Students should have choices when it comes to how and where they learn, and kids who are comfortable and confident will always thrive. This project will support students learning wherever they feel most comfortable.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
