My Project

My students work hard and do their best to gain knowledge and prepare to be productive citizens in the community. They study diligently and challenge themselves to be successful. Some students come from other countries and are bringing culture to our school and society. The students come from all different backgrounds.

The sensory strips, sensory balls, and sensory putty will help the students regulate while playing soccer and be ready to learn math, reading, science, and social studies.

English is vital to being successful in society. Computer skills are essential to help the students be prepared for an ever-changing world.
