My Students

Our students show up to school each day excited to be back in the classroom. They are active participants who are kind to one another and bring a variety of backgrounds to our learning space. It is such a joy seeing them engage with our learning and to watch their eyes light up with a smile behind their mask.

Our school community is a strong one with 75% of students qualifying for free lunch.

The staff and families are dedicated to providing the best educational opportunities for our students. They are so deserving of our support!

My Project

Our school is STEM-based, and we were fortunate enough, in third grade, to receive the Lucas Foundation Grant to support a phenomenal hands-on science curriculum. Our students already have MAJOR buy-in and absolutely look forward to science each day. At this time, we need support in fulfilling the supplies needed to complete all the hands-on projects for each student. Your donation will give these supplies to three third grade classrooms with a total of 75 students.

Our science curriculum and these supplies will cover units on animal adaptions of modern and prehistoric organisms, force and motion in which students design toys that other kids can build, and plants where students grow food in their own community.

We are grateful for the support for creating an engaging and purposeful science curriculum that enriches the students' everyday lives.
