My Students

My students are from a diverse background representing many immigrant families from the West Indies and India. They are our littlest scholars with big dreams and lots of curiosity. Our class is a second home away from home where we learn, eat, talk and play together.

My Project

Our Pre-K class is beaming with joy to be back in school with 18 students! Our classroom is our second home away from home but we don't have a safe and sanitary space for our belongings. Currently we have to share a cubby with another person which means our belongings touch. Please help our youngest scholars have their own place for their items so that they are clean and help stop the spread of unwanted germs. This is so important for us to help manage the spread of COVID to our most vulnerable population and keep us healthy so we can learn everyday with our friends.

Ms. Sookram PS 155 Grades PreK-2
