My Project

I have an awesome 6th grade class comprised of a community of brilliant, enthusiastic readers and writers. They are all at different academic levels, and have an array of talents. My students come in every day with positive attitudes. They are filled with joy, energy, and eagerness to read, write, and learn!

BBMS has adopted the AVID program.

This program helps students get ready for high school. After high school, they will transition to college.

Many of my students do not have the resources and support at home. This makes it hard for them to stay organized, show their learning abilities. Many students and families we help cannot afford the materials and supplies their children need to succeed in school. My school son's and daughters can achieve greatness, but their potential is limited. This is due to their ability to buy the materials they need for reading, writing, and book projects.
