My Project

My goal is to support all students by ensuring they have the tools and motivation to succeed. By providing pencils, we eliminate a small but significant barrier to learning, allowing every student to participate fully in their classes. The rewards will serve as positive reinforcement, encouraging students to demonstrate leadership, kindness, and perseverance. This project aims to create a school-wide culture of responsibility and engagement, helping students develop the skills they need to thrive academically and socially.

My students are diverse, hardworking, and full of potential.

They come from different backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and strengths to our school community. Many of our students are developing leadership skills and learning how to positively impact those around them. They are eager to succeed, and with the right tools and encouragement, they can achieve incredible things. This project will help ensure that every student feels supported, motivated, and recognized for their efforts.
