My Students

My students arrive each day ready to learn and with smiling faces. We are a school that is dedicated to helping each child receive academic excellence. In our classroom, diverse learning opportunities are provided to each student to help them excel. I teach at a school that values small class size, requires parental involvement, but most of all we are truly a "family".

Our school is a Title I school that challenges students from all walks of life to achieve lifelong excellence.

It is my desire for each student to have the materials needed to instill lifelong reading skills; thus helping to broaden their learning spectrums. Please consider helping to fund my project and most of all for helping my students develop a love of reading at a young age.

My Project

Now that we are back to in-person school, students must stay socially distanced on the playground and in class. We are not allowed to be on the playground every day though, so we need play equipment specific to our class that will travel with us.

Students still need to be active in the classroom and the playground.

Since we have to stay socially distanced, we try to have more frequent movement breaks. Having equipment in a wagon will allow us to take it to the playground, the grassy fields, or be available to use in the classroom.
