My Project

I love that my students bring so much energy, curiosity, and joy into the classroom every day. Each child has their own unique personality, strengths, and ways of learning, and watching them grow academically and socially is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.

Snacks play an important role in helping my students stay focused and engaged throughout the school day.

Many of them come to school hungry or need a boost between meals, and having access to healthy snacks ensures that their bodies and brains are fueled for learning.
