My Students

I love the sense of community my students and I have created. I work diligently in creating a learning community where we work together in problem solving, working as a group, and helping each other.

These students have learned the value of hard work and the reward of a job well done.

They push each other and support each other and want each other to succeed. It is really refreshing.

Every year, my older students work at bringing in the younger students and making sure they feel welcome. You can see it everyday at lunch time as they prefer to be in my room rather than in the halls.

My Project

My students every year volunteer their time to create a musical performance with our fine arts department. Using professional stand lights cuts down on electricity use, reduces the hazards of electrical cords running through the chairs and music stands, and allows portability so the performance can happen anywhere. Using rechargeable batteries, these stand lights are also durable and will last decades.

The overall effect is these stand lights will not only help 200+ students this year, but will help thousands in the years to come.

These stand lights are well worth the price and will last for years.
