My Students

As a library media specialist in a low-income, high poverty school, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status.

These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may prevent them from many life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the library I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, but I can certainly control their experience during their time with me. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire our students to continue toward a path of academic excellence.

My Project

The Lego Wall will be used by students to create and make LEGO art. Students will also be challenged with competitions. The Lego Wall will promote collaboration, creativity and will include an element of fun that our students sorely need, want, and desire. A Lego Wall also gives students the opportunity to learn through trial and error.

The DMS maker space is going to be an innovative space for students to collaborate and create.

Your donation will help us build a Lego Wall for our Makerspace to take creativity and learning to the next level. Thank you for your donation!
