My Students

My students are all hard-working, energetic children that have a love of learning and being at school. They are caring, friendly, and a joy to be with every day.

Middle school is an interesting time for students and I want make sure that my students have everything they need to succeed, both at school and in life.

The impact of COVID-19 is apparent in the classroom. Some students did not have access to technology for learning while others struggled being in the classroom. Some families are still struggling to provide even the most basic of supplies.

My Project

Many of my students are still struggling with providing supplies, having enough to eat, and having books to read. Please help me provide them with a classroom rich in print, the supplies they need to complete their assignments, and snacks to tide them over.

My classroom is a safe place for students to hang out at lunch time and I love spending time with them.

Having supplies, books, and snacks for them keeps my room an inviting place and allows me to create and maintain relationships with my students. Those positive relationships are what helps students learn every day.
