My Students

Our students have a high level of curiosity, and their energy is abundant. These children are from diverse backgrounds and households, and some have unique needs and challenges to overcome. We have a high population of students who are at-risk socially, emotionally, and academically. In spite of challenges, there is also a high desire to be cooperative, respectful, and successful students.

My students' potential is limitless, and I see future engineers, computer scientists, chefs, and teachers.

These young scholars have awesome determination. The academic growth that many are experiencing is remarkable because they have the ability and desire to acquire and apply the ​skills necessary to be successful.

My Project

The air purifier will clean 1,200 square feet of air in thirty minutes! What a sense of confidence to know that clean air will continually circulate throughout my classroom. The Shark Air Purifier tracks air quality and auto-adjusts power to constantly maintain clean air in our classroom.

We are doing all we can to keep to maintain a safe and germ-free classroom environment and the Shark Air Purifier will make a huge difference in the every day lives of my students by providing an additional layer of protection against particles and allergens in the air.
