We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school.
My students are always ready to try something new and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day.
I want to grow with them!
Our school includes over sixty percent free or reduced-price lunch recipients. Together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.
Although this year may look a little different whether in person, online, or a mix of both, I know we'll build our classroom community and become the family we always are.
I am teaching four sections of STEM classes at four different grade levels in our middle school. My classes are STEM, Robotics, Digital Applications, and Pre-engineering design. I am loving all the unique learning that is happening.
This project is being written on behalf of the 6-8th grade girls and boys basketball. What a great group of young men and women these players are!
My Project
Basketball is setting a foundation to help these young athletes learn the fundamentals and be able to use those as they continue to practice throughout the year.
"All kids need is a little help, a little hope, and someone who believes in them." -Magic Johnson
In addition to learning and building on skills, youth sports teaches children many life lessons like how to be a part of a team and how to respect others. It also helps them develop leadership skills, determination, resiliency, heart, and dedication.
We would like to have a practice jersey for every player during practice. Jerseys help us as we scrimmage during practice. These jerseys will be used by both our boys and girls.
Help us continue to build our basketball program. F.A.M.I.L.Y.
